Context of Jeremiah 5:25

23But this people has a stubborn heart and a rebellious will [that draws them away from Me]; They have turned away and have gone [into idolatry]. 24They do not say in their heart, “Let us now fear and worship the Lord our God [with profound awe and reverence], Who gives rain in its season, Both the autumn and the spring rain, Who keeps for us The appointed weeks of the harvest.” Your wickedness has turned these [blessings] away, And your sins have withheld good [harvests] from you. 26For wicked men are found among My people, They watch like fowlers who lie in wait; They set a trap, They catch men. 27As a cage is full of birds, So are their houses full of deceit and treachery; Therefore they have become influential and rich.
