Jeremiah 5:26-28
New American Standard Bible
26 For wicked people are found among My people,
They (A)watch like fowlers [a]lying in wait;
They set a trap,
They catch people.
27 Like a cage full of birds,
So their houses are full of (B)deceit;
Therefore they have become great and rich.
28 They are (C)fat, they are sleek,
They also [b]excel in deeds of wickedness;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the [c](D)orphan, so that they may be successful;
And they do not [d]defend the rights of the poor.

who lie in wait(B) like men who snare birds
and like those who set traps(C) to catch people.
27 Like cages full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;(D)
they have become rich(E) and powerful
28 and have grown fat(F) and sleek.
Their evil deeds have no limit;
they do not seek justice.
They do not promote the case of the fatherless;(G)

Micah 7:3

3 As for evil, both hands do it (A)well.
The leader asks for a (B)bribe, also the judge,
And the great one speaks the capricious desire of his soul;
So they plot it together.
