Jeremiah 17:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ Like a ·bird [^Lpartridge] hatching an egg it did not lay,
    so are the people who get rich ·by cheating [unjustly].
When their ·lives [^Ldays] are half finished, ·they will lose their riches [^Lit will leave/abandon them].
    At the end of their lives, it will be clear they were fools.

¹² From the beginning, our ·Temple [^Lsanctuary] has been ·honored [^Lexalted]
    as a glorious throne [^Cfor God; Is. 6:1–3; Ezek. 1:26–28; 43:2–5].
¹³ Lord, hope of Israel,
    those who ·leave [abandon; forsake] you will be ·shamed [humiliated].
People who ·quit following the Lord [^Lturn away from you] will be ·written [recorded] in the ·dust [or underworld],
    because they have ·left [abandoned; forsaken] the Lord, the spring of living water [2:13].
