Jeremiah 17:5-7

New American Standard Bible

⁵This is what the Lord says:
“^(A)Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind
And makes ^(B)flesh his ^[a]strength,
And whose heart turns away from the Lord.
⁶For he will be like a ^(C)bush in the desert,
And will not see when prosperity comes,
But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,
A ^(D)land of salt that is not inhabited.
⁷^(E)Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose ^(F)trust is the Lord.

Jeremiah 17:5-7

New International Version

⁵This is what the Lord says:

“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,^(A)
    who draws strength from mere flesh
    and whose heart turns away from the Lord.^(B)
⁶That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
    they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places^(C) of the desert,
    in a salt^(D) land where no one lives.
