Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in man


“Cursed is the one who trusts in man”, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord.

He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes.

He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no-one lives.


But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.

Jeremiah 17:5-6
