Jeremiah 17:11-13
Common English Bible
11 Like a partridge gathering a brood that is not its own,
so are those who acquire their wealth corruptly.
By midlife it will be gone;
afterward they will look like fools.
12 Splendid and exalted throne,
the place of our sanctuary
from the beginning!
13 Lord, the hope of Israel,
all who forsake you will suffer disgrace;
those who turn away from you[a] in the land
will be written off,[b]
for they have abandoned the Lord,
the fountain of living water.
