Jeremiah 17:8

Young's Literal Translation (1862/1898)

And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.

They have been ashamed, And have blushed and covered their head. 4 Because the ground hath been broken, For there hath been no rain in the land, Ashamed have been husbandmen, They have covered their head. 5 For even the hind in the field hath brought forth -- to forsake `it!' For there hath been no grass. 6 And wild asses have stood on high places, They have swallowed up wind like dragons, Consumed have been their eyes, for there is no herb.
