Jeremiah 17:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ You will ·lose [drop] the ·land [^Linheritance] I gave you,
    and it is your own fault.
I will ·let your enemies take you as their slaves [^Lmake you serve your enemies]
    to a land you have never known.
This is because you ·have made my anger burn like a hot fire [^Lkindled a fire in my anger],
    and it will burn forever [15:11–14].”

⁵ This is what the Lord says:
“·A curse is placed on [^LCursed are] those who ·trust [have confidence in] other people,
    who ·depend on humans for [^Lmake flesh their] strength,
    who have ·stopped trusting [^Lturned their heart from] the Lord.
⁶ They are like a ·bush [shrub; or juniper] in a ·desert [steppe]
    that ·grows in a land where no one lives [^Llives in a salt land where no one lives],
    a ·hot and dry land with bad soil [^Lparched land in the wilderness].
They don’t ·know about the good things God can give [^Lsee when good comes].
