Context of Jeremiah 5:25
23But this people have a stubborn and rebellious heart. They have turned aside and gone away. 24They do not say in their heart, ‘Let us now fear Adonai Eloheinu, who gives rain in its season —fall rain and spring rain— who reserves for us the appointed weeks of harvest.’ Your iniquities have turned these away, your sins have deprived you of bounty. 26For among My people are wicked men, watching like bait-layers lying in wait. They set a trap—they catch men. 27As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. That is why they grew great and rich.
