Jeremiah 17:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹A person who gets rich dishonestly is like a partridge
that hatches eggs it did not lay.
During his lifetime, he will lose his wealth.
In the end, he will be a godless fool.”

¹²Our holy place is a glorious throne,
highly honored from the beginning.
¹³O Lord, the Hope of Israel, all who abandon you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you will be written in dust,
because they abandon the Lord,
the fountain of life-giving water.
