Jeremiah 17:5-8
New Living Translation
Wisdom from the Lord
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans,
who rely on human strength
and turn their hearts away from the Lord.
6 They are like stunted shrubs in the desert,
with no hope for the future.
They will live in the barren wilderness,
in an uninhabited salty land.
7 “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
8 They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
and they never stop producing fruit.
Jeremiah 17:5-8
English Standard Version
5 Thus says the Lord:
“Cursed is the man (A)who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength,[a]
whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 (B)He is like a shrub in the desert,
(C)and shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in (D)an uninhabited salt land.
7 (E)“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
(F)whose trust is the Lord.
8 (G)He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
