Jeremiah 17:9-11

Tree of Life Version

⁹ “The heart is deceitful above all things,
    and incurable—who can know it?
¹⁰ I Adonai search the heart,
    I try the mind,
    to give every man according to his ways,
        according to the fruit of his deeds.
¹¹ As a partridge that broods over young that she did not lay,
    so is one who gets wealth, unjustly.
    In the middle of his days it will abandon him,
    so at his end he will be a fool.^[a]
