Jeremiah 17:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

‘I will curse those who only trust people to help them.
They think that human strength will save them,
    and they turn away from me, the Lord.
⁶ They will be like a bush that grows in the desert.
    It grows in a place where nobody can live.
    The ground is very dry and is spoiled by salt.
Even when good times come,
    those people will not receive any good thing.

⁷ The Lord blesses people who trust in him.
    They know that the Lord will help them.
