Jeremiah 17:5-7

Modern English Version

Cursed is the man who trusts in man
    and makes flesh his strength,
    and whose heart departs from the Lord.
⁶ For he will be like a bush in the desert
    and will not see when good comes,
but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
    in a salt land and not inhabited.

⁷ Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
    and whose hope is the Lord.
