Jeremiah 5:28-30

New American Standard Bible 1995

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, that they may prosper;
And they do not ^[c]defend the rights of the poor.
²⁹ ‘^(C)Shall I not punish ^[d]these people?’ declares the Lord,
‘On a nation such as this
Shall I not avenge Myself?’
