Jeremiah 17:11

קֹרֵא דָגַר וְלֹא יָלָד עֹשֶׂה עֹשֶׁר וְלֹא בְמִשְׁפָּט בַּחֲצִי ימו יַעַזְבֶנּוּ וּבְאַחֲרִיתוֹ יִהְיֶה נָבָֽל ׃

In The King James Version

As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
