Jeremiah 5:26-28

Amplified Bible

²⁶ 
‘For wicked men are found among My people,
They watch like fowlers who lie in wait;
They set a trap,
They catch men.
²⁷ 
‘As a cage is full of birds,
So are their houses full of deceit and treachery;
Therefore they have become influential and rich.
²⁸ 
‘They are fat and they are sleek (prosperous),
They ^[a]excel in acts of wickedness;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the orphan, so that they [the wicked] may prosper,
And they do not defend the rights of the poor.
