Jeremiah 5:26-28

26 For wicked men are found among my people;
^athey lurk like fowlers lying in wait. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain}
^cThey 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 ^dthey have grown fat and sleek.
They know no bounds in deeds of evil;
^ethey judge not with justice
the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper,
and they do not defend the rights of the needy.
