The Land, Your Heart - Seen Clearly

"This is what the Lord says:
'Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
    who draws strength from mere flesh
    and whose heart turns away from the Lord.
That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;

    they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
    in a salt land where no one lives.
 'But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.
 
They will be like a tree planted by the water

    that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
    and never fails to bear fruit.'
 The heart is deceitful above all things
    and beyond cure.
    Who can understand it?"

Jeremiah 17: 5-9
