Jeremiah 5:29 in Context — Jeremiah 5
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?
30 Cosa espantosa y fea es hecha en la tierra:
31 Los profetas profetizaron mentira, y los sacerdotes dirigían por manos de ellos; y mi pueblo así lo quiso. ¿Qué pues haréis á su fin?
