Jeremiah 5:24-26

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁴ They do not say to themselves,
“We should fear the Lord our God,
who sends autumn rains and spring rains at the right time,
who reserves for us enough weeks for the harvest.”
²⁵ But your guilty actions have kept these things at a distance.
Your sins have kept these good things away from you.
²⁶ Wicked men are found among my people.
Like men who trap birds, they lie in wait for my people
    to set traps and catch people.^[a]
