Verse 11
Jeremiah 17:11
World English Bible
11
As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid,
so is he who gets riches, and not by right.
In the middle of his days, they will leave him.
At his end, he will be a fool.

A caller of a sparrow and not a father, he makes wealth and not with justice; in half of his days he will leave us, and in his end he will be foolish.
