Jeremiah 17:5-9 (Young's Literal Translation)
View In My Bible
5
Thus said Jehovah: Cursed [is] the man who doth trust in man, And hath made flesh his arm, And from Jehovah whose heart turneth.
6
And he hath been as a naked thing in a desert, And doth not see when good cometh, And hath inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited.
7
Blessed [is] the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.
8
And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.
9
Crooked [is] the heart above all things, And it [is] incurable -- who doth know it?
