Jeremiah 17:5-7
This is what the Lord says:“ Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord.They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salty land.“ But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.

Micah 7:5-7
Don’t trust anyone— not your best friend or even your wife!For the son despises his father. The daughter defies her mother. The daughter in law defies her mother in law. Your enemies are right in your own household!As for me, I look to the Lord for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me.
