2 that their sons might remember their altars and their groves, by the green trees and upon the high hills.
3 My mountain dweller! In the field are thy riches; all thy treasures I will give to the spoil, because of the sin of thy high places throughout all thy borders.
4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou dost not know: for ye have kindled a fire in my anger, which shall burn for ever.
5 Thus hath the Lord said; Cursed be the man that trusts in man and makes flesh his arm and whose heart departs from the Lord.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man that is steadfast in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out her roots by the river and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green and shall not be fatigued in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
