My mountain in the field,
    I will give your substance and all your treasures for a plunder,
    and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
You, even of yourself, will discontinue from your heritage that I gave you.
    I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don’t know,

“Cursed is the man who trusts in man,
    relies on strength of flesh,
    and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
