| 5 | Thus says the LORD: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm, whose heart turns away from the LORD. | Various sayings. Jr.17.5-13 | כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה אָרוּר הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר יִבְטַח בָּאָדָם וְשָׂם בָּשָׂר זְרֹעֹו וּמִן־יְהוָה יָסוּר לִבֹּו׃ |
| 6 | He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. | וְהָיָה כְּעַרְעָר בָּעֲרָבָה וְלֹא יִרְאֶה כִּי־יָבֹוא טֹוב וְשָׁכַן חֲרֵרִים בַּמִּדְבָּר אֶרֶץ מְלֵחָה וְלֹא תֵשֵׁב׃ ס | |
| 7 | "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. | בָּרוּךְ הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר יִבְטַח בַּיהוָה וְהָיָה יְהוָה מִבְטַחֹו׃ | |
| 8 | He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit." | וְהָיָה כְּעֵץ שָׁתוּל עַל־מַיִם וְעַל־יוּבַל יְשַׁלַּח שָׁרָשָׁיו וְלֹא כ= יִרָא ק= יִרְאֶה כִּי־יָבֹא חֹם וְהָיָה עָלֵהוּ רַעֲןָן וּבִשְׁנַת בַּצֹּרֶת לֹא יִדְאָג וְלֹא יָמִישׁ מֵעֲשֹׂות פֶּרִי׃ | |
| 9 | The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately corrupt; who can understand it? | עָקֹב הַלֵּב מִכֹּל וְאָנֻשׁ הוּא מִי יֵדָעֶנּוּ׃ | |
| 10 | "I the LORD search the mind and try the heart, to give to every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings." | אֲנִי יְהוָה חֹקֵר לֵב בֹּחֵן כְּלָיֹות וְלָתֵת לְאִישׁ כ= כְּדַרְכֹּו ק= כִּדְרָכָיו כִּפְרִי מַעֲלָלָיו׃ ס | |
| 11 | Like the partridge that gathers a brood which she did not hatch, so is he who gets riches but not by right; in the midst of his days they will leave him, and at his end he will be a fool. | קֹרֵא דָגַר וְלֹא יָלָד עֹשֶׂה עֹשֶׁר וְלֹא בְמִשְׁפָּט בַּחֲצִי כ= יֹמֹו ק= יָמָיו יַעַזְבֶנּוּ וּבְאַחֲרִיתֹו יִהְיֶה נָבָל׃ | |
| 12 | A glorious throne set on high from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. | כִּסֵּא כָבֹוד מָרֹום מֵרִאשֹׁון מְקֹום מִקְדָּשֵׁנוּ׃ | |
| 13 | O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake thee shall be put to shame; those who turn away from thee shall be written in the earth, for they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living water. | מִקְוֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה כָּל־עֹזְבֶיךָ יֵבֹשׁוּ כ= יִסֹורַי ק= וְסוּרַי בָּאָרֶץ יִכָּתֵבוּ כִּי עָזְבוּ מְקֹור מַיִם־חַיִּים אֶת־יְהוָה׃ ס | |
