Jeremiah 5:25-27
Christian Standard Bible
25 Your guilty acts have diverted these things from you.
Your sins have withheld my bounty from you,(A)
26 for wicked men live among my people.
They watch like hunters[a] lying in wait.[b](B)
They set a trap;(C)
they catch men.
27 Like a cage full of birds,
so their houses are full of deceit.(D)
Therefore they have grown powerful and rich.
Jeremiah 5:25-27
King James Version
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
