Jeremias 5:29 In-Context
27 As a snare which has been set is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore have they grown great, and become rich:
28 and they have transgressed judgment; they have not judged the cause of the orphan, nor have they judged the cause of the widow.
29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 Shocking and horrible deeds have been done on the land;
31 the prophets utter unrighteous prophecies, and the priests have clapped their hands: and my people has loved thus: and what will ye do for the future.
