Jeremiah 17:9-11
New King James Version
9 “The (A)heart is deceitful above all things,
And [a]desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
10 I, the Lord, (B)search the heart,
I test the [b]mind,
(C)Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.
11 “As a partridge that [c]broods but does not hatch,
So is he who gets riches, but not by right;
It (D)will leave him in the midst of his days,
And at his end he will be (E)a fool.”

Jeremiah 17:9-11
Authorized (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.
