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.
13 O Lord, the Hope of Israel,all who forsake You will be ashamed.“Those who depart from Me in the earth will be written down,because they have forsaken the Lord,the fountain of living waters.”
14 Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed;save me, and I will be saved,for You are my praise.
15 See how they say to me,“Where is the word of the Lord?Let it come now!”
16 As for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after You,nor have I desired the woeful day;You Yourself know that which came out of my lips was in Your presence.
