Jeremiah 17:9-12 NIV

[9] The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? [10] “I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.” [11] Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay are those who gain riches by unjust means. When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them, and in the end they will prove to be fools. [12] A glorious throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
