Jeremiah 17:5-7

5This is what the Lord says: “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 that is not inhabited.7 6Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose 7trust is the Lord.
