Various sayings

Jer 17:5–11

5Yahweh says this:

Anyone who trusts in humankind will be cursed

trusting in their own physical strength turns their hearts away from Yahweh.

6They’re like shrubs in the desert, unable to see any good coming,

and they’ll live in dry parts of the wilderness

that’s salty and with no one else living there.


7The person who trusts in Yahweh will be blessed,

as they put their confidence in him.

8That person will be like a tree planted by a stream[ref]

that sends its roots out to the water.

It has nothing to fear when the heat comes and its leaves stay green.

It has nothing to be afraid of in a drought year

and it won’t stop producing fruit.


9Human motives are the most deceitful of all.

They can’t be cured—who can determine them?

10I am Yahweh who searches the mind.

I test the motives.

I give to everyone according to the results of their actions.[ref]


11A partridge hatches an egg that it didn’t lay.

Someone might get rich by unjust means

but right in the middle of their life it’ll leave them

and in the end, that person will be a fool.
