Jeremiah 17:12
"As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool."
Key Reflection
This verse uses the image of a partridge sitting on eggs it did not lay to illustrate someone who acquires wealth unjustly. Such riches are fleeting; they will abandon the person in their old age, leaving them foolish and destitute.
