Jeremiah 5:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: thereby they are become great and waxen rich.
28 They are waxen fat and shining: they do overpass the deeds of the wicked: (A)they execute no judgment, no not the judgment of the fatherless: yet they [a]prosper, though they execute no judgment for the poor.
29 Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Jeremiah 5:27-29
New International Version
27 Like cages full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;(A)
they have become rich(B) and powerful
28 and have grown fat(C) and sleek.
Their evil deeds have no limit;
they do not seek justice.
They do not promote the case of the fatherless;(D)
they do not defend the just cause of the poor.(E)
29 Should I not punish them for this?”
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(F) myself
on such a nation as this?
