Jeremiah 5:27 in Context — Jeremiah 5

25 Vuestras iniquidades han estorbado estas cosas; y vuestros pecados apartaron de vosotros el bien.

26 Porque fueron hallados en mi pueblo impíos; acechaban como quien pone lazos; pusieron trampa para tomar hombres.

27 Como jaula llena de pájaros, así están sus casas llenas de engaño: así se hicieron grandes y ricos.

28 Engordaron y pusiéronse lustrosos, y sobrepujaron los hechos del malo: no juzgaron la causa, la causa del huérfano; con todo hiciéronse prósperos, y la causa de los pobres no juzgaron.

29 ¿No tengo de visitar sobre esto? dice Jehová; ¿y de tal gente no se vengará mi alma?
