Jeremiah 17:10-12

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹¹ Like the partridge hatching what it did not lay,
    so are all who amass wealth unjustly;
in mid-life it will leave them,
    and at their end they will prove to be fools.

¹² O glorious throne, exalted from the beginning,
    shrine of our sanctuary!
