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.
12 Jeremiah (to God): But from the beginning, Your throne of glory,
our holy place, has always been exalted.
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.
