Jeremiah 5:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ As a net is full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit: therefore are they become great and enriched.

²⁸ They are grown gross and fat: and have most wickedly transgressed my words. They have not judged the cause of the widow, they have not managed the cause of the fatherless, they have not judged the judgement of the poor.

²⁹ Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul take revenge on such a nation?
