The prophet Jeremiah speaks resonating truth about the cursed man and the blessed man. The pivot between these two absolute states is the object of our trust- the cursed man trusts in man- the blessed man trusts in the Lord. Here we consider the duty that the Lord requires, of simple, comprehensive faith in him for salvation and satisfaction here and hereafter, and of the sweet comforts that attend that duty.

The prophet Jeremiah speaks resonating truth about the cursed man and the blessed man. The pivot between these two absolute states is the object of our trust- the cursed man trusts in man- the blessed man trusts in the Lord. Here we consider the sin that the Lord identifies with regard to the cursed man-trusting in man- the ugly root of that sin-a heart that departs from the Lord- and, the fearful and fatal consequences of that sin-a barren place, a fruitless life, and an empty prospect.
