Jeremiah 17:11-13 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

11. You cheated others,but everything you gainedwill fly away, like birdshatched from stolen eggs.Then you will discoverwhat fools you are.

12. Our Lord, your templeis a glorious thronethat has stood on a mountainfrom the beginning.

13. You are a spring of watergiving Israel life and hope.But if the people rejectwhat you have told me,they will be swept awaylike words written in dust.
