What does the Bible say about being cursed and blessed?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that those who trust in man and make flesh their strength are cursed, while those who trust in the Lord are blessed.

In Jeremiah 17:5-8, Scripture clearly distinguishes between the cursed and blessed individuals. The cursed man is described as one who relies on himself or others for salvation, symbolized as a worthless shrub in a desolate land. Conversely, the blessed man places his trust in the Lord, described as a flourishing tree planted by water, illustrating the stability and nourishment found in God. This contrast emphasizes the futility of self-reliance and the joy and security that comes from faith in the Lord.
