Jeremiah 5:26-28
Common English Bible
26 Criminals are found among my people;
they set traps to catch people,
like hunters lying in wait.[a]
27 Like a cage full of birds,
so their houses are full of loot.
No wonder they are rich and powerful
28 and have grown fat and sleek!
To be sure, their evil deeds exceed all limits,
and yet they prosper.
They are indifferent to the plight of the orphan,
reluctant to defend the rights of the poor.
