Jeremiah 5:26-29
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.
29 (E)Shall I not punish them for these things?’ declares the Lord,
‘Or shall I not avenge Myself
On a nation such as this?’

Jeremiah 5:26-29
Revised Standard Version
26 For wicked men are found among my people;
they lurk like fowlers lying in wait.[a]
They set a trap;
they catch men.
27 Like a basket full of birds,
their houses are full of treachery;
therefore they have become great and rich,
28 they have grown fat and sleek.
They know no bounds in deeds of wickedness;
they judge not with justice
the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper,
and they do not defend the rights of the needy.
29 Shall I not punish them for these things?
says the Lord,
and shall I not avenge myself
on a nation such as this?”
