Jeremiah 17:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴You will lose the land I gave you.
    And it will be your own fault.
I will make you slaves to your enemies.
    You will serve them in a land you didn’t know about before.
You have set my anger on fire.
    It will burn forever.”

⁵The Lord says,

“Those who trust in human beings are under my curse.
    They depend on human strength.
    Their hearts turn away from me.
⁶They will be like a bush in a dry and empty land.
    They will not enjoy success when it comes.
They will live in dry places in the desert.
    It is a land of salt where no one else lives.
