Jeremiah 5:27 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 5:27

25 ^aYour iniquities have turned these things away,
And your sins have withheld good from you.

26 ‘For among My people are found wicked men;
They ^alie in wait as one who sets snares;
They set a trap;
They catch men.

27 As a cage is full of birds,
So their houses are full of deceit.
Therefore they have become great and grown rich.

28 They have grown ^afat, they are sleek;
Yes, they¹ surpass the deeds of the wicked;
They do not plead ^bthe cause,
The cause of the fatherless;
^cYet they prosper,
And the right of the needy they do not defend.

29 ^aShall I not punish them for these things?’ says the Lord.
‘Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?’
