• Jeremiah 17:5, 6
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    •  5 This is what Jehovah says:

      “Cursed is the man* who puts his trust in mere humans,+

      Who relies on human power,*+

      And whose heart turns away from Jehovah.

       6 He will become like a solitary tree in the desert.

      He will not see when good comes,

      But he will reside in parched places in the wilderness,

      In a salt land where no one can live.
