        You will lose the inheritance that I gave you.
    I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you haven’t heard of.
    I will do this because you have stirred up the fire of my anger.
    It will burn forever.

“This is what Yahweh says:

Cursed is the person who trusts humans,
    who makes flesh and blood his strength
        and whose heart turns away from Yahweh.
He will be like a bush in the wilderness.
    He will not see when something good comes.
    He will live in the dry places in the desert,
    in a salty land where no one can live.

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.”

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)
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.
