Jeremiah 17:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ Thus saith the Lord: Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.

⁶ For he shall be like tamaric in the desert, and he shall not see when good shall come: but he shall dwell in dryness in the desert in a salt land, and not inhabited.

⁷ Blessed be the man that trusteth in the Lord, and the Lord shall be his confidence.
