Yirmeyah 17:9-11
Orthodox Jewish Bible
9 The lev (heart, mind) akov (is deceitful) above all things, and anush (incurable [in wickedness]); who can know it?
10 I, Hashem, search the lev, I test the kelayot (kidneys, i.e., most inward parts), requiting to every ish according to his drakhim, and according to the p’ri of his deeds.
11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth osher (riches), and not by mishpat, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a naval (fool).

Jeremiah 17:9-11
New International Version
9 The heart(A) is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
10 “I the Lord search the heart(B)
and examine the mind,(C)
to reward(D) each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve.”(E)
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.(F)
