Jeremiah 17:9-11
English Standard Version
9 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.

Jeremiah 17:9-11
International Standard Version
The Deceitfulness of the Human Heart
9 “The heart is more deceitful than anything.
It is incurable—
who can know it?
10 I am the Lord who searches the heart,
who tests the inner depths
to give to each person
according to what he deserves,[a]
according to the fruit of his deeds.
11 As a partridge gathers together eggs
that it didn’t lay,
so is a person who amasses wealth unjustly.
In the middle of his life[b] it will leave him,
and in the end he will prove to be a fool.”
