Jeremiah 17:5-8

Lexham English Bible

“Cursed is the person who trusts in humankind
    and makes flesh his strength,^[a]
    and turns aside his heart from Yahweh.
⁶ And he will be like a juniper in the wilderness,^[b]
    and he will not see when good comes,
and he will dwell in the parched places in the desert,^[c]
    in a land of salt flats,^[d] where no one lives.
⁷ Blessed be the person who trusts in Yahweh,
    and Yahweh is his trust.
⁸ For he will be like a tree planted by water,
    and to the stream it sends its roots,
and it will not fear when heat comes,
    and its leaves^[e] will be luxuriant,
and in the year of drought it will not be anxious,
    and it will not cease from the bearing of fruit.
