2 while their children remember their altarsand their Asherah poles, by the green treeson the high hills —
3 My mountains in the countryside.I will give up your wealthand all your treasures as plunder because of the sin of your high places in all your borders.
4 You will, on your own, relinquish your inheritancethat I gave you.I will make you serve your enemiesin a land you do not know, for you have set My anger on fire; it will burn forever.
5 This is what the Lord says:The man who trusts in mankind, who makes human flesh his strength and turns his heart from the Lord is cursed.
6 He will be like a juniper in the Arabah; he cannot see when good comesbut dwells in the parched places in the wilderness,in a salt land where no one lives.
7 The man who trusts in the Lord,whose confidence indeed is the Lord, is blessed.
8 He will be like a tree planted by water: it sends its roots out toward a stream,it doesn’t fear when heat comes,and its foliage remains green.It will not worry in a year of droughtor cease producing fruit.
