Jeremiah 5:27-29

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

²⁹ “Shall I not reckon for these things,” says the LORD? “Or shall not My Soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
