Jeremiah 17:9-13 - The Deceitful Heart
9 Deceitful is the heart above all things And, dangerously wayward, - Who can know it? 10 I - Yahweh, Searching the heart, Testing the affections; And giving to every man According to his way, According to the fruit of his doings. 11 As a partridge gathereth eggs she did not lay, So is he that maketh riches but not with justice, - In the midst of his days, shall he leave them, And in his latter end, prove to have been base.
12 A throne of glory, exalted from the beginning, hath been the place of our sanctuary. 13 Thou hope of Israel Yahweh, All who forsake thee, shall turn pale, - Yea, all who depart from me, in the ground, shall be written, For they have forsaken a fountain of living water, even Yahweh.
