Jeremiah 5:24-26

International Children’s Bible

²⁴ They do not say to themselves,
    ‘We should fear the Lord our God.
He gives us autumn and spring rains in their seasons.
    He makes sure we have the harvest at the right time.’
²⁵ But your evil has kept away both rain and harvest.
    Your sins have kept you from enjoying good things.
²⁶ There are wicked men among my people.
    They are like men who make nets for catching birds.
    But they set their traps to catch men instead of birds.
