Jeremiah 17:5-7

New International Reader's Version

“Those who trust in human beings are under my curse.
    They depend on human strength.
    Their hearts turn away from me.
⁶ They will be like a bush in a dry and empty land.
    They will not enjoy success when it comes.
They will live in dry places in the desert.
    It is a land of salt where no one else lives.

⁷ “But I will bless anyone who trusts in me.
    I will do good things for the person who depends on me.
