Jeremiah 17:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ You will be forced to surrender your heritage
    which I gave to you.
I will require you to serve your enemies
    in a land you do not know,
for my fiery anger has been kindled by you,
    and it will burn forever.

⁵ Thus says the Lord:
    Cursed is anyone who places his trust in human beings
and relies on human strength
    while his heart turns away from the Lord.
⁶ Such a person is like a shrub in the desert;
    when relief comes, he will not be aware of it.
He will continue to live
    in the parched areas of the desert,
    in an uninhabited salt land.
