Jeremiah 17:11
_ _ partridge — (1 Samuel 26:20). Hebrew, korea, from a root, “to call,” alluding to its cry; a name still applied to a bustard by the Arabs. Its nest is liable, being on the ground, to be trodden under foot, or robbed by carnivorous animals, notwithstanding all the beautiful maneuvers of the parent birds to save the brood. The translation, “sitteth on eggs which it has not laid,” alludes to the ancient notion that she stole the eggs of other birds and hatched them as her own; and that the young birds when grown left her for the true mother. It is not needful to make Scripture allude to an exploded notion, as if it were true. Maurer thinks the reference is to Jehoiakim’s grasping cupidity (Jeremiah 22:13-17). Probably the sense is more general; as previously He condemned trust in man (Jeremiah 17:5), He now condemns another object of the deceitful hearts’ trust, unjustly gotten riches (Psalms 39:6; Psalms 49:16, Psalms 49:17; Psalms 55:23).
_ _ fool — (Proverbs 23:5; Luke 12:20); “their folly” (Psalms 49:13). He himself, and all, shall at last perceive he was not the wise man he thought he was. |
Jeremiah 17:11
Hatcheth them not — Having lost them, either by some man that has taken them from her, or by some vermin or wild beast. A fool — Shall lose it again before he dies, and then shall understand what a fool he was. |

(k) [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.
(k) As the patriarch by calling gathered others who forsake her when they see she is not their mother: so the covetous man is forsaken of his riches because he comes by them falsely. |
