Jeremiah 5:23-28
-
23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
-
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
-
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
-
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.
