Jeremiah 5:25-31

25Your iniquitiesH5771 have turnedH5186 awayH5186 theseH428 things, and your sinsH2403 have withholden goodH2896 from youH4480. 26For among my peopleH5971 are foundH4672 wickedH7563 menH376: they watchH7789, as fowlersH3353 lieH7789 in waitH7789; they setH5324 a trapH4889, they catchH3920 menH376. 27As a cageH3619 is fullH4392 of birdsH5775, soH3651 are their housesH1004 fullH4392 of deceitH4820: therefore they are becomeH1431 greatH1431, and waxen richH6238. 28They are waxen fatH8080, they shine: yea, they overpass in deedsH1697 of wickednessH7451: they pleadH1777 notH3808 the causeH4941, the causeH4941 of the fatherlessH3490, that they should prosperH6743; and the rightH4941 of the needyH34 do they notH3808 judgeH8199. 29shall I notH3808 visitH6485 for theseH428 things? saith the LORDH3068: shall notH3808 my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on suchH2088 a nationH1471 as this? 30A wonderful and horrible thing is comeH1961 to passH1961 in the landH776; 31the prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falselyH8267, and the priestsH3548 bear ruleH3027 by their meansH3027; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it soH3651: and whatH4100 will ye doH6213 in the endH319 thereof?
