Jeremiah 17:4-6
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
4 And you, through your own fault, will loosen your hand and discontinue from your heritage which I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in a land which you do not know, for you have kindled a fire in My anger which will burn throughout the ages.
5 Thus says the Lord: Cursed [with great evil] is the strong man who trusts in and relies on frail man, making weak [human] flesh his arm, and whose mind and heart turn aside from the Lord.
6 For he shall be like a shrub or a person naked and destitute in the desert; and he shall not see any good come, but shall dwell in the parched places in the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.

Jeremiah 17:4-6
New International Version
4 Through your own fault you will lose
the inheritance(A) I gave you.
I will enslave you to your enemies(B)
in a land(C) you do not know,
for you have kindled my anger,
and it will burn(D) forever.”
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,(E)
who draws strength from mere flesh
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.(F)
6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places(G) of the desert,
in a salt(H) land where no one lives.
