Jeremiah 17:7 - Amplified Bible

[5] Thus says the LORD, "Cursed is the man who trusts in and relies on mankind, making [weak, faulty human] flesh his strength, and whose mind and heart turn away from the LORD. [6] "For he will be like a shrub in the [parched] desert; And shall not see prosperity when it comes but shall live in the rocky places of the wilderness, In an uninhabited salt land. [7] "Blessed [with spiritual security] is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the LORD And whose hope and confident expectation is the LORD. [8] "For he will be [nourished] like a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the river; And will not fear the heat when it comes; But its leaves will be green and moist. And it will not be anxious and concerned in a year of drought nor stop bearing fruit.
