Jeremiah 17:9-11

Complete Jewish Bible

⁹ “The heart is more deceitful than anything else
and mortally sick. Who can fathom it?
¹⁰ I, Adonai, search the heart;
I test inner motivations;
in order to give to everyone
what his actions and conduct deserve.”

¹¹ A partridge hatches eggs it did not lay;
like this are those who get rich unjustly:
in the prime of life their wealth will desert them;
in the end they will prove to be fools.
