5 Thus says the Lord:
“Cursed is the man ^awho trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength, ^{▼▼Hebrew arm}

^dand shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in ^ean uninhabited salt land.
7 ^f“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
^gwhose trust is the Lord.

Matthew 12:18-21

18 ^k“Behold, my ^lservant whom I have chosen,
my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased.
^mI will put my Spirit upon him,
and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
19 He will not quarrel or cry aloud,
nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets;
20 a bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not quench,
until he brings justice to victory;
21 ⁿand in his name the Gentiles will hope.”
