Jeremiah 17:9-13

Jeremiah 17:9-13

[9] The heart  is deceitful  above all things, and desperately wicked:  who can know  [10] I the LORD  search  the heart,  I try  the reins,  even to give  every man  according to his ways,  and according to the fruit  of his doings.  [11] As 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.  [12] A glorious  high  throne  from the beginning  is the place  of our sanctuary.  [13] O LORD,  the hope  of Israel,  all that forsake  thee shall be ashamed,  and they that depart  shall be written  in the earth,  because they have forsaken  the LORD,  the fountain  of living  waters.
