Revised Literal Translation
Jeremiah 17:5-8
5Thus saith Yhwh; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Yhwh. 6For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7Blessed is the man that trusteth in Yhwh, and whose hope Yhwh is. 8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.1
