Jeremiah 17:9-13

9The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?

10"I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds."

11Like the partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch, so is he who gets riches but not by justice; in the midst of his days they will leave him, and at his end he will be a fool.

12A glorious throne set on high from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

13O Lord, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be put to shame; those who turn away from you shall be written in the earth, for they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living water.
