Jeremiah 17:5-7

International Children’s Bible

“A curse will be placed on those who trust other people.
    It will happen to those who depend on people for strength.
    Those are the ones who have stopped trusting the Lord.
⁶ They are like a bush in a desert.
    It grows in a land where no one lives.
    It is in a hot and dry land with bad soil.
They don’t know about the good things that God can give.

⁷ “But the person who trusts in the Lord will be blessed.
    The Lord will show him that he can be trusted.
