Yirmeyah 17:9-14 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

9. The lev (heart, mind) akov (is deceitful) above all things, and anush (incurable [in wickedness]); who can know it?

10. I, Hashem, search the lev, I test the kelayot (kidneys, i.e., most inward parts), requiting to every ish according to his drakhim, and according to the p'ri of his deeds.

11. As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth osher (riches), and not by mishpat, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a naval (fool).

12. A glorious high kisse from the beginning is the place of Mikdasheinu (our Beis HaMikdash).

13. Hashem, the Mikveh Yisroel, all that forsake Thee shall be put to shame, and they that turn away from Me shall be written down in ha'aretz, because they have forsaken Hashem, the Makor Mayim Chayyim (Fountain of Living Waters).

14. Heal me, Hashem, and I shall be healed; hoshi'eini (save me), and I shall be saved; for Thou art my tehillah (praise).
