Jeremiah 17:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ Sometimes a bird will hatch an egg that it did not lay.
    That bird is like the man who gets rich by cheating.
When that man’s life is half finished, he will lose his riches.
    At the end of his life, it will be clear he was a fool.

¹² From the beginning, our Temple has been honored
    as a glorious throne for God.
