King James Version
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

9 “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.”

8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

King James Version
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
