Jeremiah 5:28-30

Christian Standard Bible

²⁸ They have become fat^(A) and sleek.
They have also excelled in evil matters.
They have not taken up cases,
such as the case of the fatherless, so they might prosper,
and they have not defended the rights of the needy.^(B)
29 Should I not punish them for these things?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Should I not avenge myself^(C)
on such a nation as this?
