Jeremiah 5:26-29

26 For wicked men are found among my people;
^gthey lurk like fowlers lying in wait. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain}
ⁱThey set a trap;
they catch men.
27 Like a cage full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;
therefore they have become great and rich;
28 ^jthey have grown fat and sleek.
They know no bounds in deeds of evil;
^kthey judge not with justice
the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper,
and they do not defend the rights of the needy.
29 ^lShall I not punish them for these things?

declares the Lord,
and shall I not avenge myself
on a nation such as this?”
