Jeremiah 17:5-8

New International Version

“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,^(A)
    who draws strength from mere flesh
    and whose heart turns away from the Lord.^(B)
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^(C) of the desert,
    in a salt^(D) land where no one lives.

⁷ “But blessed^(E) is the one who trusts^(F) in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.
⁸ They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.^(G)
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought^(H)
    and never fails to bear fruit.”^(I)
