Jeremiah 5:26-28

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁶ For among my people were found wicked men: they lay in wait as he that sets snares; they set a trap of perdition to catch men.

²⁷ As a cage full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit; thus they became great and rich.

²⁸ They are become fat; they shine; yea, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they did not judge the cause, the cause of the fatherless; with all this they made themselves prosperous; and they did not judge the cause of the poor.
