Jeremiah 17:11-13
English Standard Version
Jeremiah 17:11-13
English Standard Version
11 Like the (A)partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch,
so is (B)he who gets riches but not by justice;
(C)in the midst of his days they will leave him,
(D)and at his end he will be a fool.
12 A glorious throne set on high from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Lord, (E)the hope of Israel,
(F)all who forsake you shall be put to shame;
those who turn away from you[a] (G)shall be written in the earth,
for (H)they have forsaken (I)the Lord, the fountain of living water.
