Jeremiah 5:26
Judgment Proclaimed
25Your iniquities have diverted these from you; your sins have deprived you of My bounty. 26For among My people are wicked men; they watch like fowlers lying in wait; they set a trap to catch men. 27Like cages full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit. Therefore they have become powerful and rich.
