International Standard Version
Jeremiah 17:11-13
International Standard Version
11 As a partridge gathers together eggs
that it didn’t lay,
so is a person who amasses wealth unjustly.
In the middle of his life[a] it will leave him,
and in the end he will prove to be a fool.”
The Lord: The Hope of Israel
12 A glorious throne exalted from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Lord, you are the hope of Israel;
all who forsake you will be put to shame.
Those who turn aside from you[b] will be
written in the dust,[c]
because they have forsaken the Lord,
the spring of living water.
