Jeremiah 17:11 Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay are those who gain riches by unjust means. When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them, and in the end they will prove to be fools.
Mankind is not alone in trying to get rich from other people. The animal kingdom has its fair share of animals which do the same.
God warns us there is no gain in doing evil to try and gain from it; the best way forward is with truth and honesty as your guides.
God is watching over each one of us, and just like the animals lose out when they try to gain from others, so will we lose out; maybe not from God’s direct intervention, but mankind’s intervention!
