Jeremiah 5:25-27

International Children’s Bible

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.
²⁷ Like cages full of birds,
    their houses are full of lies.
They have become rich and powerful.
