NETBible

Like a cage filled with the birds that have been caught,¹ their houses are filled with the gains of their fraud and deceit.² That is how they have gotten so rich and powerful.³

NET Notes

¹tn The words, “that have been caught” are not in the text but are implicit in the comparison.

²tn Heb “are filled with deceit.” The translation assumes a figure of speech of cause for effect (metonymy). Compare the same word in the same figure in Zeph 1:9.

³tn Heb “therefore they have gotten great and rich.”
