Jeremiah 5:27-29

Jubilee Bible 2000

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.

²⁹ Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
