Jeremiah 17:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 I the Lord search the heart, and try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his works.
11 [a]As the partridge gathereth the young, which she hath not brought forth: 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.
12 As a glorious throne [b]exalted from the beginning, so is the place of our Sanctuary.
