Context of Jeremiah 5:25
23But these people are stubborn and rebellious. They have turned aside and wandered away from me. 24They don’t say to themselves, ‘We should fear the Lord our God. He sends rain at the right time, the autumn rain and the spring rain. He makes sure that we have harvest seasons.’ Your wickedness has turned these things away. Your sins have kept good things away from you. 26“Wicked people are found among my people. They lie in ambush like bird catchers. They set traps and catch people. 27Like cages filled with birds, their houses are filled with deceit. That is why they become powerful and rich.
