Jeremiah 17:11-13

Modern English Version

¹¹ As the partridge sits on eggs which it has not laid,
    so is he who gets riches, but not justly;
it will forsake him in the midst of his days,
    and in the end he will be a fool.

¹² A glorious high throne from the beginning
    is the place of our sanctuary.
¹³ O Lord, the Hope of Israel,
    all who forsake You will be ashamed.
“Those who depart from Me in the earth will be written down,
    because they have forsaken the Lord,
    the fountain of living waters.”
