Jeremiah 17:5-7

The Voice

⁵     Cursed is the one who trusts in human strength and the abilities of mere mortals.
        His very heart strays from the Eternal.
⁶     He is like a little shrub in the desert that never grows;
        he will see no good thing come his way.
    He will live in a desert wasteland,
        a barren land of salt where no one lives.
⁷     But blessed is the one who trusts in Me alone;
        the Eternal will be his confidence.
