Jeremiah 5:27-29

Living Bible

²⁷ Like a coop full of chickens their homes are full of evil plots. And the result? Now they are great and rich, ²⁸ they are well fed and well groomed, and there is no limit to their wicked deeds. They refuse justice to orphans and the rights of the poor. ²⁹ Should I sit back and act as though nothing is going on? the Lord God asks. Shouldn’t I punish a nation such as this?
