Jeremiah 5:25-27

Lexham English Bible

²⁵ Your iniquities have disturbed these,
    and your sins have kept away the good from you.
²⁶ For wicked people are found among my people,
    they lie in wait like the hiding of fowlers,
they set up a trap,
    they catch humans.
²⁷ Like a cage full of birds,^[a]
    so their houses are full of fraud.
Therefore^[b] they have become great,
    and they have become rich.
