Jeremiah 17:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Deceitful Heart
9 The heart is more deceitful than anything.
It is beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
10 I, the Lord, am the one who searches the heart
and examines the mind,
to reward a man according to what he has done,
according to what his deeds deserve.
11 Those who accumulate a fortune unjustly
are like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay.
Midway through life their fortune will be lost,
and in the end they will be exposed as fools.
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)
