Jeremiah 17:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

¹² A high and glorious throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctification:

¹³ O Lord the hope of Israel: all that forsake thee shall be confounded: they that depart from thee, shall be written in the earth: because they have forsaken the Lord, the vein of living waters.
