Jeremiah 17:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ You people of Judah
    are so deceitful
that you even fool yourselves,
    and you can't change.
^10 (A) But I know your deeds
    and your thoughts,
and I will make sure
    you get what you deserve.
¹¹ You cheated others,
    but everything you gained
will fly away, like birds
    hatched from stolen eggs.
Then you will discover
    what fools you are.
