11 As a partridge that [a]broods but does not hatch,
So is he who gets riches, but not by right;
It (A)will leave him in the midst of his days,
And at his end he will be (B)a fool.”

12 A glorious high throne from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Lord, (C)the hope of Israel,
(D)All who forsake You shall be ashamed.

“Those who depart from Me
Shall be (E)written in the earth,
Because they have forsaken the Lord,
The (F)fountain of living waters.”
