“This is what YAHWEH says,
‘Cursed is the man who trusts in human beings and depends on a mortal for his life, while his heart is drawn away from YAHWEH!
He is like a bunch of thistles in dry land, in parched desert places, in a salt land where no one lives and who never finds happiness.
Blessed is the man who puts his trust in YAHWEH and whose confidence is in HIM! He is like a tree planted by the water, sending out its roots towards the stream.
He has no fear when the heat comes, his leaves are always green; the year of drought is no problem and he can always bear fruit.
Most deceitful is the heart. What is there within man, who can understand him? I, YAHWEH, search the heart and penetrate the mind. I reward each one according to his ways and the fruit of his deeds.’” – Jeremiah 17:5-10
(Blessed is the man whose hope is the LORD.)
