Revised Literal Translation

Jeremiah 5:25-27

25Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. 26For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.1 27As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.2
