Jeremiah 5:25-29

25Your wrongdoings have kept these away; your sins have deprived you of good. 26“Among my people are the wicked who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch people. 27Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful 28and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not seek justice. They do not promote the case of the fatherless; they do not defend the just cause of the poor. 29Should I not punish them for this?” declares the Lord. “Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?
