Jeremiah 17:8
_ _ (Psalms 1:3).
_ _ shall not see — that is, feel. Answering to Jeremiah 17:6; whereas the unbelievers “shall not see (even) when good cometh,” the believer “shall not see (so as to be overwhelmed by it even) when heat (fiery trial) cometh.” Trials shall come upon him as on all, nay, upon him especially (Hebrews 12:6); but he shall not sink under them, because the Lord is his secret strength, just as the “roots spread out by a river” (or, “water-course”) draw hidden support from it (2 Corinthians 4:8-11).
_ _ careful — anxious, as one desponding (Luke 12:29; 1 Peter 5:7).
_ _ drought — literally, “withholding,” namely, of rain (Jeremiah 14:1); he here probably alludes to the drought which had prevailed, but makes it the type of all kinds of distress. |
Jeremiah 17:8
(h) 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 anxious in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
(h) Read (Psalms 1:3). |
- he shall:
Job 8:16 He [is] green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
Psalms 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalms 92:10-15 But my horn shalt thou exalt like [the horn of] an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. ... To shew that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock, and [there is] no unrighteousness in him.
Isaiah 58:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Ezekiel 31:4-10 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field. ... Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
Ezekiel 47:12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
