Jeremiah 5:27-29
Darby Translation
27 As a cage full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and have enriched themselves.
28 They are become fat, they shine, yea, they surpass in deeds of wickedness; they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, and they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not adjudge.
29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith Jehovah; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Jeremiah 5:27-29
New International Version
27 Like cages full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;(A)
they have become rich(B) and powerful
28 and have grown fat(C) and sleek.
Their evil deeds have no limit;
they do not seek justice.
They do not promote the case of the fatherless;(D)
they do not defend the just cause of the poor.(E)
29 Should I not punish them for this?”
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(F) myself
on such a nation as this?
