Jeremiah 5:26-29
Legacy Standard Bible
26 For wicked men are found among My people;
They (A)watch like fowlers [a]lying in wait;
They set a [b]trap;
They catch men.
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 [c]excel in deeds of evil;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the [d](D)orphan, that they may succeed;
And they do not [e]render justice for the poor.
29 (E)Shall I not punish [f]these people?’ declares Yahweh,
‘On a nation such as this
Shall I not avenge Myself?’

Jeremiah 5:26-29
Lexham English Bible
26 For wicked people are found among my people,
they lie in wait like the hiding of fowlers,
they set up a trap,
they catch humans.
27 Like a cage full of birds,[a]
so their houses are full of fraud.
Therefore[b] they have become great,
and they have become rich.
28 They have grown fat,
they have grown sleek,
also, their evil deeds have no limit.[c]
They do not judge with justice,
the legal cause of the orphan,
or allow it to succeed,
and the legal case of the poor,
they do not defend.
29 Because of these things shall I not punish?” declares[d] Yahweh,
“and on a nation who is like this, shall I not take revenge?
