³ He is like a tree planted beside streams of water^[a]
that bears its fruit in season^[b](A)
and whose leaf does not wither.^(B)
Whatever he does prospers.^(C)

⁸ He will be like a tree planted by water:^(A)
it sends its roots out toward a stream,
it doesn’t fear when heat comes,
and its foliage remains green.
It will not worry in a year of drought
or cease producing fruit.
