Jeremiah 5:25-31

25Your iniquitiesH5771 have turnedH5186 away these thingsH428, and your sinsH2403 have withholden goodH2896 from you. 26For among my peopleH5971 are foundH4672 wickedH7563 menH376: they watchH7789, as fowlersH3353 lie in wait; they setH5324 a trap, they catchH3920 menH376. 27As a cage is fullH4392 of birdsH5775, soH3651 are their housesH1004 fullH4392 of deceitH4820: thereforeH3651 they are becomeH1431 greatH1431, and waxed richH6238. 28They are waxed fatH8080, they shine: yea, they overpass in deeds of wickednessH7451; they plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherlessH3490, that they may prosperH6743; and the rightH4941 of the needyH34 do they not judgeH8199. 29Shall I not visitH6485 for these thingsH428? saith Jehovah; shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on such a nationH1471 as this?

30A wonderful and horrible thing is come to pass in the landH776: 31the prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falsely, and the priestsH3548 bear rule by their means; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it soH3651: and what will ye do in the endH319 thereof?
