Context — The Blessing of Trusting in the LORDgenerated

7But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him.
8He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.
9The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
10I, the LORD, search the heart; I examine the mind to reward a man according to his way, by what his deeds deserve.

Jeremiah 17:8 presents a vivid metaphor illustrating the stability and prosperity of a person who places their trust in the LORD. This individual is likened to a tree that is securely planted by water, drawing nourishment and strength from its surroundings. The surrounding verses emphasize the contrast between those who trust in God and those who do not, highlighting the spiritual and practical implications of faith.

The Key Word שָׁת֣וּל, sha.Tulgenerated

The word שָׁת֣וּל (sha.Tul) is a passive participle derived from the root שָׁתַל (shathal), meaning to transplant or plant. It conveys a sense of being firmly established in a beneficial environment, indicating that the tree is not just planted, but securely rooted in a place where it can thrive.

In this verse, the participle emphasizes the state of being planted, suggesting stability and resilience. The imagery of a tree planted by water evokes a sense of flourishing and vitality, reinforcing the idea that trust in God nurtures and sustains life.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The verse is structured around a central metaphor, with the finite verb הָיָ֞ה (ve.ha.Yah) serving as the anchor. This verb introduces the simile comparing the blessed person to a tree.

The phrase כְּעֵ֣ץ׀ שָׁת֣וּל (ke.'Etz sha.Tul) acts as a noun phrase that elaborates on the subject, while the subsequent prepositional phrases detail the tree's location and characteristics, contributing to the overall imagery of stability and nourishment.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates שָׁת֣וּל as εὐθηνοῦν (euthinoun), which means to cause to thrive or flourish. This choice emphasizes not just the act of planting but also the resulting vitality and growth, reflecting an interpretive nuance that highlights the flourishing aspect of faith.

The translation aligns with the overall theme of the verse, suggesting that a life rooted in trust will naturally lead to flourishing, both spiritually and materially.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Jeremiah 17:8 compares a person who trusts in the LORD to a tree planted by water. This tree sends out roots toward a stream, showing it is well-nourished. It does not fear heat or drought, and its leaves remain fresh and green, indicating that it continues to produce fruit even in hard times.


Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

What does it mean to trust in the LORD?

Trusting in the LORD means relying on Him for strength and guidance, believing that He will provide for one's needs and sustain them through challenges.

How does the metaphor of a tree relate to our lives?

The metaphor of a tree illustrates stability and nourishment; just as a tree thrives by water, a person who trusts in God finds strength and sustenance in their faith.

This signifies that those who trust in God are resilient and can withstand difficult circumstances without losing hope or vitality.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(8) Shall not see when heat cometh.—Another reading, followed by the LXX. and Vulgate, gives shall not fear; there is, however, more force in the repetition of the same word as in Jeremiah 17:6. The man who trusts is like the strong tree, clothed with foliage, that “does not see,” i.e., does not regard or feel, the presence of the heat. Technically the meaning is the same in both cases, but in the latter case with the emphasised contrast of a parallelism. Fed by the stream that never fails, it “shall not be careful” or anxious about the scorching heat of summer. As the blasted heath sees no good, so the tree, in this case, sees no evil.

(1) The Greek philosophers believed water to be the original substance and that all things were made from it. The Koran states, "From water we have made all things." In the story of the creation (Ge 1:2) water plays an elemental part.

(2) Because of the scarcity of water in Palestine it is especially appreciated by the people there. They love to go and sit by a stream of running water. Men long for a taste of the water of their native village (1Ch 11:17). A town or village is known throughout the country for the quality of its water, which is described by many adjectives, such as "light," "heavy," etc.

(3) The rainfall is the only source of supply of water for Palestine. The moisture is carried up from the sea in clouds and falls on the hills as rain or snow.…

In Isa 35:7, the Hebrew word for "parched ground" that shall become a pool of water, is the same with the Arabic term for the mirage, a peculiar optical illusion by which travelers in hot and dry deserts think they see broad lakes and flowing waters; they seem to discern the very ripple of the waves, and the swaying of tail trees on the margin in the cool breeze; green hills and houses and city ramparts rise before the astonished sight, recede as the traveler advances, and at length melt away in the hot haze.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

Drought

From the middle of May to about the middle of August the land of Palestine is dry. It is then the “drought of summer” (Gen. 31:40; Ps. 32:4), and the land suffers (Deut. 28:23: Ps. 102:4), vegetation being preserved only by the dews (Hag. 1:11). (See DEW.)

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

Was an evil to which Palestine was naturally subject, as no rain fell from May to September. During these months of summer, the ground became parched and cleft, the streams and springs became dry, and vegetation was kept from extinction by the dews at night and by artificial irrigation. If rain did not come in its season and abundantly, the distress was general and dreadful. A drought therefore is threatened as one of God’s sorest judgments, Job 24:19 Jer 50:38 Joe 1:10-20 Hag 1:11; and there are many allusions to its horrors in Scripture, De 28:23 Ps 32:4 102:4.

ses: A remarkable array of 20 Hebrew and 6 Greek words is so translated. In the King James Version 15 of the former and 3 of the latter are used only once with this rendering. The originals most frequently in use are chadhal, "to leave off"; shabhath "to rest from" (labor); pauomai, "to make to cease." Few words illustrate better the fertility of the Hebrew in expressing limitless shades of meaning, impoverished by the use of one English word. This extensive variety is, however, well expressed by "cease": i.e. stop, come to an end, e.g. ceasing of tears (Jer 14:17); work (Ezr 4:24); grinders (Ec 12:3); thunder (Ex 9:29); the wicked (

Fruit

A word as used in Scripture denoting produce in general, whether vegetable or animal. The Hebrews divided the fruits of the land into three classes:,

(1.) The fruit of the field, “corn-fruit” (Heb. dagan); all kinds of grain and pulse.

(2.) The fruit of the vine, “vintage-fruit” (Heb. tirosh); grapes, whether moist or dried.

(3.) “Orchard-fruits” (Heb. yitshar), as dates, figs, citrons, etc.

Injunctions concerning offerings and tithes were expressed by these Hebrew terms alone (Num. 18:12; Deut. 14:23). This word “fruit” is also used of children or offspring (Gen. 30:2; Deut. 7:13; Luke 1:42;
