Jeremiah 5:27
World English Bible (WEB)
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. Therefore they have become great, and grew rich.
In context
25 “Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.
26 For wicked men are found among my people. They watch, as fowlers lie in wait. They set a trap. They catch men.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. Therefore they have become great, and grew rich.
28 They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excel in deeds of wickedness. They don’t plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they don’t defend the rights of the needy.
29 “Shouldn’t I punish for these things?” says the LORD. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
