Jeremiah 5:26-28

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁶ “For among My people are found wicked persons, who lay in wait, as he who sets snares. They have made a pit to catch men.

²⁷ “As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit, by which they have become great and grown rich.

²⁸ “They have grown fat and smooth. They surpass the deeds of the wicked. They execute no judgment, no not the judgment of the fatherless. Yet they prosper, though they execute no judgment for the poor.
