Jeremiah 17:7

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is." — Jeremiah 17:7 (ASV)

Blessed is the man ... — The words that follow in Jeremiah 17:8 are almost a paraphrase of Psalm 1:3. And, we may well believe, were suggested by them. The prophet has, so to speak, his own Ebal and Gerizim: trust in God inheriting the blessing, and distrust the curse.
