Jeremiah 17:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 A partridge that broods but does not hatch
are those who acquire wealth unjustly:
In midlife it will desert them;
in the end they are only fools.(A)
The Source of Life
12 A throne of glory, exalted from the beginning,
such is our holy place.(B)
13 O Hope of Israel, Lord!
all who forsake you shall be put to shame;
The rebels shall be enrolled in the netherworld;
they have forsaken the Lord, source of living waters.(C)
