God's Word Translation

Jeremiah 17:10-16 God's Word Translation (GW)

10. I, the Lord, search minds and test hearts.I will reward each person for what he has done.I will reward him for the results of his actions.

11. A person who gets rich dishonestly is like a partridgethat hatches eggs it did not lay.During his lifetime, he will lose his wealth.In the end, he will be a godless fool.”

12. Our holy place is a glorious throne,highly honored from the beginning.

13. O Lord, the Hope of Israel, all who abandon you will be put to shame.Those who turn away from you will be written in dust,because they abandon the Lord,the fountain of life-giving water.

14. Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed.Rescue me, and I will be rescued.You are the one I praise.

15. People keep asking me,“Where is the word of the Lord?Let it come.”

16. I have not run away from being your shepherd,and I have not longed for the day of destruction.You know what came out of my mouth.
