I will give as plunder your wealth, all your treasures,
And your high places of sin within all your borders.
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.”
a“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes bflesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the Lord.
And bshall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
cIn a salt land which is not inhabited.
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.

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Jeremiah 17:5:
Jeremiah 17:5-6
So our carnal, evil heart that puts its trust in itself, our self, results in a shrub, thirsting in a desert, a salt-like land that is barren and uninhabitable. When our heart is focused on getting what we want, what we treasure, what we think about all the time, our heart actually goes to thinking that it knows best, and we depart from the Lord, and we wither like that grass burned and scorched in the sun. As we examine our heart, what is it that is taking our attention away from God? Do we have a bad attitude about something we think we should have that God has not yet given to us?
Jeremiah 17:5-6
In other words, the person who does not live by faith is not going to grow. He is going to be like a shrub in the desert that only receives water every so often, not near often enough to really grow.
