Jeremiah 5:28-30

New American Standard Bible

²⁸ They are ^(A)fat, they are sleek,
They also ^[a]excel in deeds of wickedness;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the ^[b](B)orphan, so that they may be successful;
And they do not ^[c]defend the rights of the poor.
^29 (C)Shall I not punish them for these things?’ declares the Lord,
‘Or shall I not avenge Myself
On a nation such as this?’
