Jeremiah 17:5-8
Lexham English Bible
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,[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.
