Jeremiah 5:25-27

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁵ Your iniquities have turned these away,
    and your sins have deprived you of good.^(A)

    They lie in wait like hunters;
destroyers,^[a] they catch humans.^(B)
27 Like a cage full of birds,
    their houses are full of treachery;
therefore they have become great and rich;^(C)
