Jeremiah 5:26-28

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁶ Wicked men are found among my people.
Like men who trap birds, they lie in wait for my people
    to set traps and catch people.^[a]
27 Like a cage full of birds, their houses are full of deceit.
That is how they became powerful and rich.
²⁸ They have become fat and sleek.
They have gone beyond evil words.^[b]
They do not argue a case for the fatherless to help them win,
and they do not seek justice for the poor.
