Jeremiah 5:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ For there are wicked scoundrels among my people
    who, like fowlers, set traps,
    but with men as their quarry.
²⁷ Like a cage full of birds,
    their houses are full of treachery.
As a result, they have grown rich and powerful,
²⁸     well fed and well groomed.
Their wickedness knows no bounds,
    and they do not practice justice in their dealings.
They do not uphold the rights of the orphan
    or defend the cause of the needy.
