Exegesis
The concluding clause uses the preposition min {מִן | min} in u-min-yhwh {וּמִן־יְהוָה | û-min-yəhōwāh} ‘and from the LORD’, with the imperfect yasur {יָסוּר | yāsūr} ‘turns away’ governing libbo {לִבּוֹ | libbô} ‘his heart’, contrasting human dependence with divine loyalty and forming a chiastic structure.
Root and etymology
l-blamed–bet
“heart, inner self”
In context — Jeremiah 17:5
Thus says the LORD : “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm , and whose heart turns away from the LORD.”
