O My mountain in the field,
    I will give your wealth
and all your treasures to the destroyer,
    and your high places
    for sin throughout all your borders.
You, even yourself, will discontinue
    from your heritage that I gave you;
and I will cause you to serve your enemies
    in the land which you do not know;
for you have kindled a fire in My anger
    which will burn forever.

Thus says the Lord:

Cursed is the man who trusts in man
    and makes flesh his strength,
    and whose heart departs from the Lord.

“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,(H)
    who draws strength from mere flesh
    and whose heart turns away from the Lord.(I)
