⁹ A human heart is more dishonest than anything else.
    It can’t be healed.
    Who can understand it?

¹⁰ The Lord says, “I look deep down inside human hearts.
    I see what is in people’s minds.
I reward each person in keeping with their conduct.
    I bless them based on what they have done.”

¹¹ Some people get rich by doing sinful things.
    They are like a partridge that hatches eggs it didn’t lay.
When their lives are half over, their riches will desert them.
    In the end they will prove how foolish they have been.
