Jeremiah 5:24-26

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁴ They do not say in their hearts,
    ‘Let us fear the Lord our God,
who gives the rain in its season,
    the autumn rain and the spring rain,
and keeps for us
    the weeks appointed for the harvest.’
²⁵ Your iniquities have turned these away,
    and your sins have deprived you of good.
²⁶ For scoundrels are found among my people;
    they take over the goods of others.
Like fowlers they set a trap;^[a]
    they catch human beings.
