Thus says the Lord:
“Cursed is the man (A)who trusts in man
    and makes flesh his strength,[a]
    whose heart turns away from the Lord.
(B)He is like a shrub in the desert,
    (C)and shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
    in (D)an uninhabited salt land.

(E)“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
    (F)whose trust is the Lord.

  1. Jeremiah 17:5 Hebrew arm

(A)Trust in him at all times, O people;
    (B)pour out your heart before him;
    God is (C)a refuge for us. Selah

(D)Those of low estate are but a breath;
    those of high estate (E)are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
    (F)they are together lighter than a breath.

(A)Put no trust in a neighbor;
    have no confidence in a friend;
guard (B)the doors of your mouth
    from her who lies in your arms;[a]
for (C)the son treats the father with contempt,
    the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
    (D)a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
But as for me, I will look to the Lord;
    (E)I will wait for the God of my salvation;
    my God will hear me.
