Jeremiah 17:5-11
5This is what the LORD says:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind,who makes mere flesh his strength1and turns his heart from the LORD.6He will be like a shrub in the desert;he will not see when prosperity comes.He will dwell in the parched places of the desert,in a salt land where no one lives.
7But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,whose confidence is in Him.8He is like a tree planted by the watersthat sends out its roots toward the stream.It does not fear when the heat comes,and its leaves are always green.It does not worry in a year of drought,nor does it cease to produce fruit.
9The heart is deceitful above all thingsand beyond cure.Who can understand it?10I, the LORD, search the heart;I examine the mind2to reward a man according to his way,by what his deeds deserve.11Like a partridge hatching eggs it did not layis the man who makes a fortune unjustly.In the middle of his days his riches will desert him,and in the end he will be the fool.”
