Jeremiah 17:4-6
International Standard Version
4 You will let go of your inheritance
which I gave you,
and I’ll make you serve your enemies
in a land that you don’t know.
For with my anger you have started a fire
that will burn forever.
Two Ways Contrasted
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed is the person who trusts in mankind,
who makes flesh his strength,
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 He will be like a bush in the desert,
and he won’t see when good comes.
He will dwell in parched places in the wilderness,[a]
a land of salt, without inhabitants.
