Jeremiah 5:27
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.
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.
29 Should I not punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
