Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 5:26-28
Contemporary English Version
26 A hunter traps birds
and puts them in a cage,
but some of you trap humans
and make them your slaves.
27 You are evil, and you lie and cheat
to make yourselves rich.
You are powerful
28 and prosperous,
but you refuse to help[a] the poor
get the justice they deserve.
