Jeremiah 5:27-29

27As a cage is full of birds, So are their houses full of deceit and treachery; Therefore they have become influential and rich.

28They are fat and they are sleek (prosperous), They excel in acts of wickedness; They do not plead the cause, The cause of the orphan, so that they [the wicked] may prosper, And they do not defend the rights of the poor.

29Shall I not punish them [for these things]?’ says the Lord. ‘Shall I not avenge Myself On such a nation as this?’
