YOU SHALL BE LIKE A TREE THAT SPREADETH OUT HER ROOTS BY THE RIVER

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the 
LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the 
waters, and that spreadeth out her roots 
by the river, and shall not see when heat 
cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and 
shall not be careful in the year of drought, 
neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
The heart is deceitful above all things, 
and desperately wicked: who can know it?
I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, 
even to give every man according to his 
ways, and according to the fruit of his 
doings.  As the partridge sitteth on eggs, 
and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth 
riches, and not by right, shall leave them 
in the midst of his days, and at his end 
shall be a fool  A glorious high throne 
from the beginning is the place of our 
sanctuary. O LORD, the hope of Israel, 
all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, 
and they that depart from me shall be
written in the earth, because they have 
forsaken the LORD, the fountain of 
living waters.  Heal me, O LORD, 
and I shall be healed; save me, 
and I shall be saved: for thou art 
my praise.

Jeremiah 17:7-12
