Verse 11
Jeremiah 17:11
Literal Standard Version
11
A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, || Is one making wealth, and not by right, || In the midst of his days he forsakes it, || And in his latter end—he is 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.
