Jeremiah 5:25-27

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁵ You don’t have these blessings because you have done wrong.
    Your sins have kept these good things away from you.
²⁶ There are evil men among my people.
    They are like men who make nets for catching birds.^[a]
They set their traps,
    but they catch people instead of birds.
²⁷ Their houses are full of lies,
    like a cage full of birds.
Their lies made them rich and powerful.
