Jeremiah 17, slightly revised

Jim West has decided that Jeremiah 17 is too harsh in the original, so he revised it a bit for the modern reader. Here's a bit of it:

5Thus says the Lord: Coddled are those who trust in mere mortals and make mere flesh their strength, whose hearts turn away from the Lord. 6They shall be like a giant shrubbery in the well watered desert, and shall not see when trouble of any kind comes because God would never allow anything bad to happen to anyone...10I the Lord test the mind and search the heart, to give to all according to their ways, according to the fruit of their doings. And that means he will just make everyone as happy as they want to be, because, after all, God is here for us- and we aren’t here for him.

Definitely modified! But, it is what we want to hear, isn't it?
