In context
10I the Lord try the hearts, and prove the reins, to give to every one according to his ways, and according to the fruits of his devices.
11The partridge utters her voice, she gathers eggs which she did not lay; so is a man gaining his wealth unjustly; in the midst of his days his riches shall leave him, and at his latter end he will be a fool.
— Jeremiah 17:12 —
13O Lord, the hope of Israel, let all that have left thee be ashamed, let them that have revolted be written on the earth, because they have forsaken the fountain of life, the Lord.
14Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for thou art my boast.
