Jeremiah 17 v 5–8

1 Samuel 17 v 47 2 Chronicles 32 v 8 2 Corinthians 12 v 9–10 Isaiah 40 v 29–31 Psalm 33 v 16 - 17 Zechariah 4 v 6 1 Corinthians 1 v 25 2026-09-24 (Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts)

5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord.

6 He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.

7“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord.

8He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
