Jeremiah 5:26-29

For among my people
<05971>

are found
<04672> (8738)

wicked
<07563>

[men]: they lay wait
<07789> (8799)_,

as he that setteth
<07918> (8800)

snares
<03353>_;

they set
<05324> (8689)

a trap
<04889>_,

they catch
<03920> (8799)

men
<0582>_.

{they lay...: or, they pry as fowlers lie in wait}

As a cage
<03619>

is full
<04392>

of birds
<05775>_,

so [are] their houses
<01004>

full
<04392>

of deceit
<04820>_:

therefore they are become great
<01431> (8804)_,

and waxen rich
<06238> (8686)_.

{cage: or, coop}

They are waxen fat
<08080> (8804)_,

they shine
<06245> (8804)_:

yea, they overpass
<05674> (8804)

the deeds
<01697>

of the wicked
<07451>_:

they judge
<01777> (8804)

not the cause
<01779>_,

the cause of the fatherless
<03490>_,

yet they prosper
<06743> (8686)_;

and the right
<04941>

of the needy
<034>

do they not judge
<08199> (8804)_.

Shall I not visit
<06485> (8799)

for these [things]? saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

shall not my soul
<05315>

be avenged
<05358> (8691)

on such a nation
<01471>

as this?
