Jeremiah 17:9-11

World English Bible

¹⁰ “I, Yahweh, search the mind.
    I try the heart,
even to give every man according to his ways,
    according to the fruit of his doings.”

¹¹ As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid,
    so is he who gets riches, and not by right.
In the middle of his days, they will leave him.
    At his end, he will be a fool.
