Jeremiah 5:27-28

27Like a cage full of birds, So their houses are full of 1deceit; Therefore they have become great and rich.28They are 2fat, they are sleek, They also 3excel in deeds of wickedness; They do not plead the cause, The cause of the 4 5orphan, so that they may be successful; And they do not 6defend the rights of the poor.
