Jeremiah 5:25-27

Common English Bible

²⁵ Your wrongdoing has turned these blessings^[a] away.
    Your sin has robbed you of good.
²⁶ Criminals are found among my people;
    they set traps to catch people,
        like hunters lying in wait.^[b]
27 Like a cage full of birds,
    so their houses are full of loot.
No wonder they are rich and powerful
