Jeremiah 5:25 BBE

²³  But the heart of this people is uncontrolled and turned away from me; they are broken loose and gone.

²⁴  And they do not say in their hearts, Now let us give worship to our God, who gives the rain, the winter and the spring rain, at the right time; who keeps for us the ordered weeks of the grain-cutting.

²⁵  Through your evil-doing these things have been turned away, and your sins have kept back good from you.

²⁶  For there are sinners among my people: they keep watch, like men watching for birds; they put a net and take men in it.

²⁷  As the fowl-house is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: for this reason they have become great and have got wealth.
