Jeremiah 17:4-6
Lexham English Bible
Jeremiah 17:4-6
Lexham English Bible
4 And you will let go your hand from your inheritance[a]
that I gave to you,
and I will make you serve your enemies
in the land that you do not know,
for you kindled a fire in my anger,
until eternity it will be kindled.”
The One Who Trusts in Humankind Contrasted With the One Who Trusts in Yahweh
5 Thus says Yahweh,
“Cursed is the person who trusts in humankind
and makes flesh his strength,[b]
and turns aside his heart from Yahweh.
6 And he will be like a juniper in the wilderness,[c]
and he will not see when good comes,
and he will dwell in the parched places in the desert,[d]
in a land of salt flats,[e] where no one lives.

New International Version
Jeremiah 17:4-6
New International Version
4 Through your own fault you will lose
the inheritance(A) I gave you.
I will enslave you to your enemies(B)
in a land(C) you do not know,
for you have kindled my anger,
and it will burn(D) forever.”
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,(E)
who draws strength from mere flesh
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.(F)
6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places(G) of the desert,
in a salt(H) land where no one lives.
