Jeremiah 17:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 17:7

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 “Blessed^a 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.

11 “As a partridge that¹ broods but does not hatch,
So is he who gets riches, but not by right;
It ^awill leave him in the midst of his days,
And at his end he will be ^ba fool.”

12 A glorious high throne from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.

13 O Lord, ^athe hope of Israel,
^bAll who forsake You shall be ashamed.
“Those who depart from Me
Shall be ^cwritten in the earth,
Because they have forsaken the Lord,
The ^dfountain of living waters.”

Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance

14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
Save me, and I shall be saved,
For ^aYou are my praise.

15 Indeed they say to me,
^a“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come now!”
