Jeremiah 5:27-29
Lexham English Bible
27 Like a cage full of birds,[a]
so their houses are full of fraud.
Therefore[b] they have become great,
and they have become rich.
28 They have grown fat,
they have grown sleek,
also, their evil deeds have no limit.[c]
They do not judge with justice,
the legal cause of the orphan,
or allow it to succeed,
and the legal case of the poor,
they do not defend.
29 Because of these things shall I not punish?” declares[d] Yahweh,
“and on a nation who is like this, shall I not take revenge?
