Jeremiah 5:26-28

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁶ “For among my people there are wicked men,
who, like fowlers, lie in wait and set traps
to catch their fellow human beings.
²⁷ Their houses are as full of fraud
as a cage full of birds.
They grow rich and great, ²⁸ sleek and bloated;
they excel in acts of wickedness
but do not plead on behalf of the orphan,
thus enabling his cause to succeed;
nor do they judge in favor of the poor.
