Jeremiah:17:5-11

*
Thus saith the LORD ;
Cursed be the man that trusteth in man ,
and maketh flesh his arm ,
and whose heart departeth from the LORD .
*
For he shall be like the heath #
ar #
ar #
in the desert ,
and shall not see when good cometh ;
but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness ,
in a salt land and not inhabited .
*
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD ,
and whose hope the LORD is .
*
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters ,
and that spreadeth out her roots by the river ,
and shall not see when heat cometh ,
but her leaf shall be green ra #
anan #;
and shall not be careful in the year of drought ,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit .
*
The heart is deceitful above all things ,
and desperately wicked :
who can know it ?
*
I the LORD search the heart ,
I try the reins ,
even to give every man according to his ways ,
and according to the fruit of his doings ma #
alal #.
*
As the partridge sitteth on eggs ,
and hatcheth them not ;
so he that getteth riches ,
and not by right ,
shall leave them in the midst of his days ,
and at his end shall be a fool .
