The verse in its chapter

Jeremiah 17:5-9

  1. 5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
  2. 6 For he shall be like the heath 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.
  3. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
  4. 8 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; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
  5. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
