10 I, Yahweh, search minds and test hearts.
    I will reward each person for what he has done.
    I will reward him for the results of his actions.
11 A person who gets rich dishonestly is like a partridge
    that hatches eggs it did not lay.
        During his lifetime, he will lose his wealth.
            In the end, he will be a godless fool.”

12 Our holy place is a glorious throne,
    highly honored from the beginning.
