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.
Jeremiah 5:26-28
New International Version
26 “Among my people are the wicked(A)
who lie in wait(B) like men who snare birds
and like those who set traps(C) to catch people.
27 Like cages full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;(D)
they have become rich(E) and powerful
28 and have grown fat(F) and sleek.
Their evil deeds have no limit;
they do not seek justice.
They do not promote the case of the fatherless;(G)
they do not defend the just cause of the poor.(H)
