“This is what the Lord says:

Cursed is the person who trusts humans,
who makes flesh and blood his strength
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.
He will be like a bush in the wilderness.
He will not see when something good comes.

in a salty land where no one can live.
Blessed is the person who trusts the Lord.
The Lord will be his confidence.

    whose confidence is in him.
