Jeremiah 17:10-12
New American Standard Bible
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.

Jeremiah 17:10-12
New International Version
10 “I the Lord search the heart(A)
and examine the mind,(B)
to reward(C) each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve.”(D)
11 Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay
are those who gain riches by unjust means.
When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them,
and in the end they will prove to be fools.(E)
12 A glorious throne,(F) exalted from the beginning,
is the place of our sanctuary.
