9. The heart is more deceitful than all thingsand desperately wicked;who can understand it?
10. I, the Lord, search the heart,I test the mind,even to give to every man according to his ways,and according to the fruit of his deeds.
11. As the partridge sits on eggs which it has not laid,so is he who gets riches, but not justly;it will forsake him in the midst of his days,and in the end he will be a fool.
12. A glorious high throne from the beginningis the place of our sanctuary.
