Jeremiah 17:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰     It is I, the Eternal One, who probes the innermost heart
        and examines the innermost thoughts.
    I will compensate each person justly,
        according to his ways and by what his actions deserve.
¹¹     Like a partridge that hatches eggs that are not hers,
        so is the person who gains wealth unfairly.
    In the middle of his life a fool’s money will abandon him.
        In the end he, too, will be shown for what he is—a fool.
