Jeremiah 5:26-28
New International Version
Jeremiah 5:26-28
New International Version
26 “Among my people are the wicked(A)
who lie in wait(B) like men who snare birds
and like those who set traps(C) to catch people.
27 Like cages full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;(D)
they have become rich(E) and powerful
28 and have grown fat(F) and sleek.
Their evil deeds have no limit;
they do not seek justice.
They do not promote the case of the fatherless;(G)
they do not defend the just cause of the poor.(H)
Jeremiah 5:26-28
King James Version
Jeremiah 5:26-28
King James Version
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
28 They 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.

26 ‘For among My people are found wicked men;
They (A)lie in wait as one who sets snares;
They set a trap;
They catch men.
27 As a cage is full of birds,
So their houses are full of deceit.
Therefore they have become great and grown rich.
28 They have grown (B)fat, they are sleek;
Yes, they [a]surpass the deeds of the wicked;
They do not plead (C)the cause,
The cause of the fatherless;
(D)Yet they prosper,
And the right of the needy they do not defend.
