Jeremiah 17:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ The heart is perverse above all things, and unsearchable, who can know it?

¹⁰ I am the Lord who search the heart and prove the reins: who give to every one according to his way, and according to the fruit of his devices.

¹¹ As the partridge hath hatched eggs which she did not lay: so is he that hath gathered riches, and not by right: in the midst of his days he shall leave them, and in his latter end he shall be a fool.
