Jeremiah 17:5–10 contrasts the futility of trusting in human strength with the blessing of relying on the Lord. Those who depend on themselves are like a barren shrub in the desert, but those who trust in God flourish like a tree planted by streams of water. At the heart of the passage is the reminder that only God can truly search and heal the deceitful human heart.
