10 I, the Lord, examine the mind,
I test the heart[a](A)
to give to each according to his way,
according to what his actions deserve.(B)
11 He who makes a fortune unjustly
is like a partridge that hatches eggs it didn’t lay.
In the middle of his life
his riches will abandon him,
so in the end he will be a fool.(C)
12 A glorious throne(D)
on high(E) from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.(F)
