Berean Standard Bible

“O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who abandon You will be put to shame. All who turn away will be written in the dust, for they have abandoned the LORD, the fountain of living water.”

Jeremiah 17:13

Save as image

Study note

Jeremiah 17 contrasts the person who trusts in humans with the one who trusts in the Lord. It then moves to a short prayer of confidence in God, who alone can heal and save.
