Jeremiah 17:9-11

Darby Translation

⁹ The heart is deceitful above all things, and incurable; who can know it?

¹⁰ I Jehovah search the heart, I try the reins, even to give each one according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

¹¹ [As] the partridge sitteth on [eggs] it hath not laid, [so] is he that getteth riches and not by right: in the midst of his days shall he leave them, and at his end shall be a fool.
