Jeremiah 17:11-13
Legacy Standard Bible
11 As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid,
So is he who (A)makes a fortune, but unjustly;
In the midst of his days it will forsake him,
And in [a]the end he will be a (B)wicked fool.”
12 (C)A glorious throne on high from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Yahweh, the (D)hope of Israel,
All who (E)forsake You will be put to shame.
Those who turn [b]away on earth will be (F)written down
Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, even Yahweh.

New International Version
11 Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay
are those who gain riches by unjust means.
When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them,
and in the end they will prove to be fools.(A)
