Jeremiah 17:9-11
New King James Version
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.”
