Jeremiah 5:27DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 27 of 31
"As a cage is full of birds, so their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich."
In context
25Your iniquities have turned away these , and your sins have withholden good from you.
26For among my people are found wicked : they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27As a cage is full of birds, so their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
28They 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.
29Shall I not visit for these ? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
