Jeremiah 17:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 The heart is devious above all else;
it is perverse—
who can understand it?(A)
10 I the Lord test the mind
and search the heart,
to give to all according to their ways,
according to the fruit of their doings.(B)
11 Like the partridge hatching what it did not lay,
so are all who amass wealth unjustly;
in midlife it will leave them,
and at their end they will prove to be fools.
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.
