26For wicked men are found among my people;qthey lurk like fowlers lying in wait. ▼

their houses are full of deceit;
therefore they have become great and rich;
28 tthey have grown fat and sleek.
They know no bounds in deeds of evil;
uthey judge not with justice
the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper,
and they do not defend the rights of the needy.

brings all of them up abwith a hook;he drags them out with his net;
he gathers them in his dragnet;
so he rejoices and is glad.
16 acTherefore he sacrifices to his net
and makes offerings to his dragnet;
for by them he lives in luxury, ▼
▼Hebrew his portion is fat
and his food is rich.
17Is he then to keep on emptying his net
aeand mercilessly killing nations forever?
