(Jeremiah 17:5-8)
The Lord says, “I will condemn the person who turn away from me and puts his trust in man, in the strength of mortal man. He is like a bush in the desert, which grows in the dry wasteland, on salty ground where nothing else grows. Nothing good ever happens to him.”
“But I will bless the person who puts his trust in me. He is like a tree growing near a steam and sending out roots to the water. It is not afraid when hot weather comes, because its leaves stay green; it has no worries when there is no rain; it keeps on bearing fruit.”
