Context of Jeremiah 17:12
10I Yhwh search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 11As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. 13O Yhwh, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yhwh, the fountain of living waters. 14Heal me, O Yhwh, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
