Jeremiah 17:9-11
World English Bible
9 The heart is deceitful above all things
and it is exceedingly corrupt.
Who can know it?
10 “I, Yahweh, search the mind.
I try the heart,
even to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his doings.”
11 As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid,
so is he who gets riches, and not by right.
In the middle of his days, they will leave him.
At his end, he will be a fool.
Jeremiah 17:9-11
New International Version
9 The heart(A) is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
10 “I the Lord search the heart(B)
and examine the mind,(C)
to reward(D) each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve.”(E)
11 Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay
are those who gain riches by unjust means.
When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them,
and in the end they will prove to be fools.(F)
