“The (A)heart is more (B)deceitful than all else
And is desperately (C)sick;
Who can understand it?
10 I, the Lord, (D)search the heart,
I test the [a]mind,
(E)To give to each person according to his ways,
According to the [b]results of his deeds.
11 As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid,
So is a person who (F)makes a fortune, but unjustly;
In the middle of his days it will abandon him,
And in [c]the end he will be a (G)fool.”

The heart is deceitful above all things,
    and desperately sick;
    who can understand it?
10 (A)“I the Lord search the heart
    (B)and test the mind,[a]
(C)to give every man according to his ways,
    according to the fruit of his deeds.”

11 Like the (D)partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch,
    so is (E)he who gets riches but not by justice;
(F)in the midst of his days they will leave him,
    (G)and at his end he will be a fool.
