Jeremiah 5:23-26

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²³ But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart;
    they have turned aside and gone away.^(A)
24 They do not say in their hearts,
    “Let us fear the Lord our God,
who gives the rain in its season,
    the autumn rain and the spring rain,
and keeps for us
    the weeks appointed for the harvest.”^(B)
25 Your iniquities have turned these away,
    and your sins have deprived you of good.^(C)
26 For the wicked are found among my people.
    They lie in wait like hunters;
destroyers,^[a] they catch humans.^(D)
