Jeremiah 17:9 - 17:11

“The heart is more deceitful than all else

And is desperately sick;

Who can know it?

I, Yahweh, search the heart;

I test the inmost being,

Even to give to each man according to his ways,

According to the fruit of his deeds.

As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid,

So is he who makes a fortune, but unjustly;

In the midst of his days it will forsake him,

And in the end he will be a wicked fool.”
