Jeremiah 17:5
Douay-Rheims
Thus saith the Lord: Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
Referring to the Jews' proneness to rely on Egypt, in its fear of Assyria and Babylon (Isa 31:1, Isa 31:3). trusteth--This word is emphatic. We may expect help from men, so far as God enables them to help us, but we must rest our trust in God alone (Psa 62:5).
