Jeremiah 17:4-6
Lexham English Bible
4 And you will let go your hand from your inheritance[a]
that I gave to you,
and I will make you serve your enemies
in the land that you do not know,
for you kindled a fire in my anger,
until eternity it will be kindled.”
The One Who Trusts in Humankind Contrasted With the One Who Trusts in Yahweh
5 Thus says Yahweh,
“Cursed is the person who trusts in humankind
and makes flesh his strength,[b]
and turns aside his heart from Yahweh.
6 And he will be like a juniper in the wilderness,[c]
and he will not see when good comes,
and he will dwell in the parched places in the desert,[d]
in a land of salt flats,[e] where no one lives.
