27 Like a cage full of birds, So their houses are full of deceit; Therefore they have become great and rich. 28 They are fat, they are sleek; They also excel in deeds of evil; They do not plead the cause, The cause of the orphan, that they may succeed; And they do not render justice for the poor. 29 Shall I not punish these people?’ declares Yahweh, ‘On a nation such as this Shall I not avenge Myself?’ 30 “A horrible and appalling thing Has happened in the land: 31 The prophets prophesy with lying, And the priests have dominion by their own hand; And My people love it so! But what will you do at the end of it? Jeremiah 5:27-31, Legacy Standard Bible. Copyright © 2021 by The Lockman Foundation.
