thus saith the lord; cursed be the man that trusted in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the lord.
for he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
blessed is the man that trusted in the lord, and whose hope the lord is.
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 careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Faith in the Lord is the difference between between Jeremiah 2:21-22. in which a fruitless degenerate plant exhibited and a tree planted by the waters and a people baring fruit.
This should remind us of Matthew 7:15-23.
We often use these verses and apply them to individuals which may apply but when careful studying these scriptures I believe it's speaking of A WAY, AND THOSE "OUTSIDE" THE STRAIGHT GATE.
In other words those who travel the wide gate. This is what Israel as a nation did and what is being taught today in a works based salvation in today's congregation.
The context is in the previous verses
7:13-14. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew 7:15-23.
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
I don't believe a tree is speaking of individuals but rather a people's movement.
jeremiah 17:5-8.
thus saith the lord; cursed be the man that trusted in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the lord.
for he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
blessed is the man that trusted in the lord, and whose hope the lord is.
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 careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

One group is spirit led the other group is not.
See Matthew 13:31-32.
