The King James Version Bible

Jeremiah 5:26-29

  1. For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

  2. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.

  3. 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.

  4. Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
