10 I, the Lord, (A)search the heart,
I test the [a]mind,
(B)To give to each person according to his ways,
According to the [b]results of his deeds.
11 As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid,
So is a person who (C)makes a fortune, but unjustly;
In the middle of his days it will abandon him,
And in [c]the end he will be a (D)fool.”

12 (E)A glorious throne on high from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.
