Jeremiah 17:4-6

Complete Jewish Bible

“A curse on the person who trusts in humans,
who relies on merely human strength,
whose heart turns away from Adonai.
⁶ He will be like a tamarisk in the ‘Aravah —
when relief comes, it is unaffected;
for it lives in the sun-baked desert,
in salty, uninhabited land.
