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
Lexham English Bible
9 The heart is deceitful more than anything else,
and it is disastrous. Who can understand it?
10 I, Yahweh, examine the mind,[a]
I test the heart,[b]
and give to each one according to his way,
according to the fruit of his deeds.
11 Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay
is one who amasses wealth without justice.
In the middle of his days it will leave him,
and at his end he will prove to be a fool.”
