Jeremiah 17:6
Compare all
4 And you, even yourself,
Shall let go of your heritage which I gave you;
And I will cause you to serve your enemies
In athe land which you do not know;
For byou have kindled a fire in My anger which shall burn forever.”  
5 Thus says the Lord:
a“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes bflesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the Lord. 
6 For he shall be alike a shrub in the desert,
And bshall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
cIn a salt land which is not inhabited. 
7 “Blesseda is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord. 
8 For he shall be alike a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not1 fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit. 
9 “The aheart is deceitful above all things,
And1 desperately wicked;
Who can know it? 
10 I, the Lord, asearch the heart,
I test the1 mind,
bEven to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.
