⁷ “Here now is the man
    who did not make God his stronghold^(A)
but trusted in his great wealth^(B)
    and grew strong by destroying others!”

⁸ They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.^(A)
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought^(B)
    and never fails to bear fruit.”^(C)
