Jeremiah 5:28-30

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁸ They have become fat and sleek.
They have gone beyond evil words.^[a]
They do not argue a case for the fatherless to help them win,
and they do not seek justice for the poor.
²⁹ Should I not punish them for these things? declares the Lord.
Should I not avenge myself on a nation like this one?
³⁰ A terrible thing has taken place.
A horrible thing has happened in the land.
