Jeremiah 5:26-28
International Standard Version
26 “Evil men are found among my people.
They lie in wait like someone who traps birds.
They set a trap,
but they do so to catch people.
27 Like a cage full of birds,
so their houses are filled with treachery.
This is how they have become prominent and rich,
28 and have grown fat and sleek.
There is no limit[a] to their evil deeds.
They don’t argue the case of the orphan to secure[b] justice.
They don’t defend the rights of[c] the poor.
