10 I, the LORD, search the heart; I examine the mind to reward a man according to his way, by what his deeds deserve.

11 Like a partridge hatching eggs it did not lay is the man who makes a fortune unjustly. In the middle of his days his riches will desert him, and in the end he will be the fool.”
