Jeremiah 17:11-13

New Living Translation

¹¹ Like a partridge that hatches eggs she has not laid,
    so are those who get their wealth by unjust means.
At midlife they will lose their riches;
    in the end, they will become poor old fools.
¹² But we worship at your throne—
    eternal, high, and glorious!
¹³ O Lord, the hope of Israel,
    all who turn away from you will be disgraced.
They will be buried in the dust of the earth,
    for they have abandoned the Lord, the fountain of living water.
