Jeremiah 17:13

Hope Faith Salvation Shame

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.”

¹² A glorious throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.

O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who abandon You will be put to shame. All who turn away will be written in the dust, for they have abandoned the LORD, the fountain of living water.

¹⁴ Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You are my praise.

¹⁵ Behold, they keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come now!”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
