Parallel JER 17:11

BSB 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.”

OEB  ⇔ Like a patridge that sitteth on eggs
⇔ That it hath not laid,
 ⇔ Is the man that getteth him riches
⇔ In ways unjust.
 ⇔ In the midst of his days he must leave them,
⇔ His end shall declare him a fool.

WEB  ⇔ As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid,
⇔ so is he who gets riches, and not by right.
 ⇔ In the middle of his days, they will leave him.
⇔ At his end, he will be a fool.

NET The person who gathers wealth by unjust means
 ⇔ is like the partridge that broods over eggs but does not hatch them.
 ⇔ Before his life is half over he will lose his ill-gotten gains.
 ⇔ At the end of his life it will be clear he was a fool.”

LSV A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth,
[Is] one making wealth, and not by right,
In the midst of his days he forsakes it,
And in his latter end—he is a fool.”

FBV Like a partridge hatching eggs it didn't lay is someone who makes a fortune by cheating others. Their riches will fly away at midday, and in the end they'll look like a fool.

T4T  ⇔ I, Jeremiah, agree, because I know that people who become rich by doing things that are unjust
⇔ are like birds that hatch eggs that they ◄did not lay/stole from another nest►.
 ⇔ So, when those people have lived only half of the years that they expect to live, their wealth will disappear.
⇔ Then other people will realize that those rich people have been foolish.

LEB  • Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay is one who amasses wealth without justice. •  In the middle of his days it will leave him, •  and at his end he will prove to be a fool.”
¶ 

BBE Like the partridge, getting eggs together but not producing young, is a man who gets wealth but not by right; before half his days are ended, it will go from him, and at his end he will be foolish.
