Jeremiah 5:24-26

The Voice

²⁴     It never occurs to them to say,
        “Let us stand in awe of the Eternal our God,
    For He sends the rain—both the autumn and the spring rain—
        and He brings the harvest at just the right time year after year.”
²⁵     It is your sins that hold back the rain.
        It is your rebellion that keeps good things from happening to you.
²⁶     Lurking among My own people are the wicked
        who watch and wait, preying on the less fortunate.
    Like hunters who set traps for birds,
        they ensnare people for their own benefit.
