Jeremiah 17:5-10
New King James Version
5 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes (B)flesh his [a]strength,
Whose heart departs from the Lord.
6 For he shall be (C)like a shrub in the desert,
And (D)shall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
(E)In a salt land which is not inhabited.
7 “Blessed(F) is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
8 For he shall be (G)like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not [b]fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
9 “The (H)heart is deceitful above all things,
And [c]desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
10 I, the Lord, (I)search the heart,
I test the [d]mind,
(J)Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.

Jeremías 17:5-10
Reina-Valera 1960
5 Así ha dicho Jehová: Maldito el varón que confía en el hombre, y pone carne por su brazo, y su corazón se aparta de Jehová. 6 Será como la retama en el desierto, y no verá cuando viene el bien, sino que morará en los sequedales en el desierto, en tierra despoblada y deshabitada.
7 Bendito el varón que confía en Jehová, y cuya confianza es Jehová. 8 Porque será como el árbol plantado junto a las aguas,(A) que junto a la corriente echará sus raíces, y no verá cuando viene el calor, sino que su hoja estará verde; y en el año de sequía no se fatigará, ni dejará de dar fruto.
9 Engañoso es el corazón más que todas las cosas, y perverso; ¿quién lo conocerá? 10 Yo Jehová, que escudriño la mente, que pruebo el corazón,(B) para dar a cada uno según su camino,(C) según el fruto de sus obras.

Jeremiah 17:5-10
Authorized (King James) Version
5 Thus saith the Lord;
Cursed be the man that trusteth in man,
and maketh flesh his arm,
and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert,
and shall not see when good cometh;
but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
in a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord,
and whose hope the Lord is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters,
and that spreadeth out her roots by the river,
and shall not see when heat cometh,
but her leaf shall be green;
and shall not be careful in the year of drought,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins,
even to give every man according to his ways,
and according to the fruit of his doings.
