Jeremiah 5:26
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For among My people are wicked men; they watch like fowlers lying in wait; they set a trap to catch men.
In context
24 They have not said in their hearts, ‘Let us fear the LORD our God, who gives the rains, both autumn and spring, in season, who keeps for us the appointed weeks of harvest.’
25 Your iniquities have diverted these from you; your sins have deprived you of My bounty.
26 For among My people are wicked men; they watch like fowlers lying in wait; they set a trap to catch men.
27 Like cages full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit. Therefore they have become powerful and rich.
28 They have grown fat and sleek, and have excelled in the deeds of the wicked. They have not taken up the cause of the fatherless, that they might prosper; nor have they defended the rights of the needy.
