Jeremiah 17:9-13 - The Deceitful Heart

⁹ The heart [is] deceitful more than anything else, and it [is] disastrous. Who can understand it? ¹⁰ I, Yahweh, examine [the] {mind}, test [the] {heart}, and give to each one according to his way, according to the fruit of his deeds. ¹¹ [Like] a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay [is] one who amasses wealth without justice. In the middle of his days it will leave him, and at his end he will [prove to] be a fool."

¹² A lofty throne of glory from the beginning [is] the place of our sanctuary. ¹³ Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all [those who] forsake you will be put to shame, and [those who] turn aside from you in the earth will be recorded, for they have forsaken the fountain of living water, Yahweh.
