Jeremiah 17:5 in context

  1. 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.
  2. 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,
    for you have kindled a fire in my anger which will burn forever.”
  3. 5Yahweh says:
    “Cursed is the man who trusts in man,
    relies on strength of flesh,
    and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
  4. 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.
  5. 7“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh,
    and whose confidence is in Yahweh.
