Jeremiah 17:5-7

5Thus says the Lord, “1Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes 2flesh his 3strength, And whose heart turns away from the Lord.6For he will be like a 4bush in the desert And will not see when prosperity comes, But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, A 5land of salt 6without inhabitant.77Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord And whose 8trust is the Lord.
