Jeremiah 5:26 - The Message

"My people are infiltrated by wicked men,
   unscrupulous men on the hunt.
They set traps for the unsuspecting.
   Their victims are innocent men and women.
Their houses are stuffed with ill-gotten gain,
   like a hunter’s bag full of birds.
Pretentious and powerful and rich,
   hugely obese, oily with rolls of fat.
Worse, they have no conscience.
   Right and wrong mean nothing to them.
They stand for nothing, stand up for no one,
   throw orphans to the wolves, exploit the poor.
Do you think I’ll stand by and do nothing about this?"
   God’s Decree.
"Don’t you think I’ll take serious measures
   against a people like this?
