A bush or shrub, possibly juniper; desert plant symbolizing desolation
This term designates a desert bush or shrub, traditionally identified as juniper though other identifications have been proposed. Jeremiah uses it twice as a symbol of barrenness and isolation: one who trusts in man 'shall be like a bush in the desert' (17:6), and destroyed Moab is told to 'be like a bush in the wilderness' (48:6). The plant represents survival in harsh conditions but without flourishing—a scraggly existence in desolate places, suitable for illustrating spiritual and national barrenness.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A masculine noun denoting a desert bush or shrub, likely juniper. The consistent 'like a bush/shrub' simile ('como arbusto') in both Jeremiah passages shows it functioned proverbially for desolation and meager survival. The plant grows in harsh desert conditions but doesn't thrive—making it apt imagery for those who trust in human strength rather than God, or for nations facing judgment. Textual variants exist, but the desert-bush identification remains standard. 2×
