Context of Jeremiah 5:25
23But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts. They have turned aside and have gone away. 24They have not said to themselves, ‘Let’s fear the Lord our God, who gives the seasonal rains, both autumn and spring, who guarantees to us the fixed weeks of the harvest.’ Your guilty acts have diverted these things from you. Your sins have withheld my bounty from you, 26for wicked men live among my people. They watch like hunters lying in wait. They set a trap; they catch men. 27Like a cage full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit. Therefore they have grown powerful and rich.
