Jeremiah 17:4-6
Living Bible
4 And the wonderful heritage I reserved for you will slip out of your hand, and I will send you away as slaves to your enemies in distant lands. For you have kindled a fire of my anger that shall burn forever.
5 The Lord says: Cursed is the man who puts his trust in mortal man and turns his heart away from God. 6 He is like a stunted shrub in the desert, with no hope for the future; he lives on the salt-encrusted plains in the barren wilderness; good times pass him by forever.

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.
