As the partridge— As the snipe hatcheth or broodeth upon eggs which she did not lay; such is he who getteth wealth, and not by right. In the midst of his days it shall desert him, and at his end he shall be a fool. See Scheuchzer on 1 Samuel 26:20. Houbigant renders the 12th verse, The ancient throne of glory is taken from our sanctuary.
