Jeremiah 5:26-28
Evangelical Heritage Version
26 Wicked men are found among my people.
Like men who trap birds, they lie in wait for my people
to set traps and catch people.[a]
27 Like a cage full of birds, their houses are full of deceit.
That is how they became powerful and rich.
28 They have become fat and sleek.
They have gone beyond evil words.[b]
They do not argue a case for the fatherless to help them win,
and they do not seek justice for the poor.
