Jeremiah 17:4 in context

  1. 2Even their children remember their altars
    and their Asherah poles by the green trees on the high hills.
  2. 3My 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.
  3. 4You, 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,

  4. 5Yahweh says:
    “Cursed is the man who trusts in man,
    relies on strength of flesh,
    and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
  5. 6For he will be like a bush in the desert,
    and will not see when good comes,
    but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
    an uninhabited salt land.
