Jeremiah 17:3-10
New International Version
3 My mountain in the land
and your[a] wealth and all your treasures
I will give away as plunder,(A)
together with your high places,(B)
because of sin throughout your country.(C)
4 Through your own fault you will lose
the inheritance(D) I gave you.
I will enslave you to your enemies(E)
in a land(F) you do not know,
for you have kindled my anger,
and it will burn(G) forever.”
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,(H)
who draws strength from mere flesh
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.(I)
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(J) of the desert,
in a salt(K) land where no one lives.
7 “But blessed(L) is the one who trusts(M) in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.(N)
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought(O)
and never fails to bear fruit.”(P)
9 The heart(Q) is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
