Context of Jeremiah 5:25

23But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and gone away. 24They do not say to themselves, ‘Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives autumn and spring rains in season, who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’ Your wrongdoings have kept these away; your sins have deprived you of good. 26“Among my people are the wicked who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch people. 27Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful
