Jeremiah 17:4-6
New American Standard Bible 1995
4 And you will, even of yourself, (A)let go of your inheritance
That I gave you;
And I will make you serve your (B)enemies
In the (C)land which you do not know;
For you have (D)kindled a fire in My anger
Which will burn forever.
5 Thus says the Lord,
“(E)Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind
And makes (F)flesh his [a]strength,
And whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 “For he will be like a (G)bush in the desert
And will not see when prosperity comes,
But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,
A (H)land of salt [b]without inhabitant.

Jeremiah 17:4-6
New International Version
4 Through your own fault you will lose
the inheritance(A) I gave you.
I will enslave you to your enemies(B)
in a land(C) you do not know,
for you have kindled my anger,
and it will burn(D) forever.”
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,(E)
who draws strength from mere flesh
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.(F)
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(G) of the desert,
in a salt(H) land where no one lives.
