Jeremiah 17:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ The Lord proclaims:
Cursed are those who trust in mere humans,
    who depend on human strength
    and turn their hearts from the Lord.
⁶ They will be like a desert shrub
    that doesn’t know when relief comes.
They will live in the parched places of the wilderness,
    in a barren land where no one survives.
⁷ Happy are those who trust in the Lord,
    who rely on the Lord.
