Jeremiah 17:10-12

English Standard Version

¹⁰^(A)“I the Lord search the heart
^(B)and test the mind,^[a]
^(C)to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds.”

¹¹Like the ^(D)partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch,
so is ^(E)he who gets riches but not by justice;
^(F)in the midst of his days they will leave him,
^(G)and at his end he will be a fool.

¹²A glorious throne set on high from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.
