Verse 11
Jeremiah 17:11
Free Bible Version
11
Like a partridge hatching eggs it didn't lay is someone who makes a fortune by cheating others. Their riches will fly away at midday, and in the end they'll look like 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.
