Jeremiah 5:26

26 "Wicked people are found among my people. They lie in ambush like bird catchers. They set traps and catch people.

Jeremiah 5:26 In-Context

24 They don't say to themselves, 'We should fear the LORD our God. He sends rain at the right time, the autumn rain and the spring rain. He makes sure that we have harvest seasons.'
25 Your wickedness has turned these things away. Your sins have kept good things away from you.
26 "Wicked people are found among my people. They lie in ambush like bird catchers. They set traps and catch people.
27 Like cages filled with birds, their houses are filled with deceit. That is why they become powerful and rich.
28 They grow big and fat. Their evil deeds have no limits. They have no respect for the rights of others. They have no respect for the rights of orphans. But they still prosper. They don't defend the rights of the poor.
