1 Samuel 26:20 Now therefore, don't let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Yahweh; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains." (WEB KJV JPS ASV DBY WBS YLT NAS RSV NIV)
Jeremiah 17:11 As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool. (WEB KJV JPS ASV BBE DBY WBS YLT NAS RSV NIV)
