Jeremiah 5:26-29

Jeremiah 5:26-29

[26] For among my people  are found  wicked  men: they lay wait,  as he that setteth  snares;  they set  a trap,  they catch  men.  [27] As a cage  is full  of birds,  so are their houses  full  of deceit:  therefore they are become great,  and waxen rich.  [28] They are waxen fat,  they shine:  yea, they overpass  the deeds  of the wicked:  they judge  not the cause,  the cause of the fatherless,  yet they prosper;  and the right  of the needy  do they not judge.  [29] Shall I not visit  for these things? saith  the LORD:  shall not my soul  be avenged  on such a nation  as this?
