Jeremiah 17:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
Jeremiah 17:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
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.
12 The place of our sanctuary is a glorious throne,
exalted from the beginning.
13 You are the hope of Israel, Lord.
All who forsake you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you[a] will be written in the earth,
because they have forsaken the Lord, the spring of living water.
Footnotes
- Jeremiah 17:13 You is the reading of the Greek. The Hebrew reads me. This reading would require a change of speakers to the Lord.
