Jeremiah 17:9-11
Legacy Standard Bible
9 “The (A)heart is more (B)deceitful than all else
And is [a]desperately (C)sick;
Who can know it?
10 I, Yahweh, (D)search the heart;
I test the [b]inmost being,
Even (E)to give to each man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his deeds.
11 As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid,
So is he who (F)makes a fortune, but unjustly;
In the midst of his days it will forsake him,
And in [c]the end he will be a (G)wicked fool.”

Jeremiah 17:9-11
Common English Bible
9 The most cunning heart—
it’s beyond help.
Who can figure it out?
10 I, the Lord, probe the heart
and discern hidden motives,
to give everyone what they deserve,
the consequences of their deeds.
11 Like a partridge gathering a brood that is not its own,
so are those who acquire their wealth corruptly.
By midlife it will be gone;
afterward they will look like fools.
