And thou shalt be left alone from thine heritage which I gave to thee (And thou shalt be taken away from thy inheritance which I gave thee); and I shall make thee to serve thine enemies, in the land which thou knowest not; for thou hast kindled (a) fire in my strong vengeance, it shall burn till into without end.

The Lord saith these things, Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and setteth flesh his arm, and his heart goeth away from the Lord. (The Lord saith these things, Cursed is the person who trusteth in people, and maketh any flesh his source of power and security, and his heart goeth away from the Lord.)

For he shall be as brooms in desert, and he shall not see, when good shall come; but he shall dwell in dryness in desert, in the land of saltness, and unhabitable. (For he shall be like the heather in the wilderness, and he shall not see, when good shall come; but he shall live in the dryness of the desert, yea, in an uninhabitable and salty land.)

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.
