Jeremiah 17:5 - 17:8

« Jer 16 | Jer 17 | Jer 18 »

5 Thus says Yahweh,

“Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind

And makes flesh his strength,

And whose heart turns away from Yahweh.

6

And he will be like a juniper in the desert

And will not see when prosperity comes,

But will dwell in stony wastes in the wilderness,

A land of salt which is not inhabited.

7

Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh

And whose trust is Yahweh.

8

And he will be like a tree planted by the water,

That sends forth its roots by a stream

And will not fear when the heat comes;

But its leaves will be green,

And it will not be anxious in a year of drought

Nor refrain from yielding fruit.
