Jeremiah 5:25-27

New Century Version

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.
    Like those who make nets for catching birds,
    they set their traps to catch people.
²⁷ Like cages full of birds,
    their houses are full of lies.
They have become rich and powerful.
