Jeremiah 17:5-8
Read Jeremiah 17 in full →5Thus says Yahweh, “aCursed is the man who trusts in mankindAnd makes bflesh his 1strength,And whose heart turns away from Yahweh.
6“And he will be like a ajuniper in the desertAnd will not see when prosperity comes,But will dwell in stony wastes in the wilderness,A bland of salt 1which is not inhabited.7“aBlessed is the man who trusts in YahwehAnd whose btrust is Yahweh.8“And he will be like a atree planted by the water,That sends forth its roots by a streamAnd will not fear when the heat comes;But its leaves will be green,And it will not be anxious in a year of bdroughtNor refrain from yielding fruit.
