Jeremiah 17:5-10
English Standard Version
5 Thus says the Lord:
“Cursed is the man (A)who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength,[a]
whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 (B)He is like a shrub in the desert,
(C)and shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in (D)an uninhabited salt land.
7 (E)“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
(F)whose trust is the Lord.
8 (G)He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
9 The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
10 (H)“I the Lord search the heart
(I)and test the mind,[b]
(J)to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds.”

English Standard Version
Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance
14 (A)Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved,
for (B)you are my praise.
15 (C)Behold, they say to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come!”
16 I have not run away from being your shepherd,
nor have I desired the day of sickness.
(D)You know (E)what came out of my lips;
it was before your face.
17 Be not a terror to me;
(F)you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
