Jeremiah 5:27-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
27 Like a cage full of birds,
their houses are full of treachery;
therefore they have become great and rich;(A)
28 they have grown fat and sleek.
They know no limits in deeds of wickedness;
they do not judge with justice
the cause of the orphan, to make it prosper,
and they do not defend the rights of the needy.(B)
29 Shall I not punish them for these things?
says the Lord,
and shall I not bring retribution
on a nation such as this?(C)
