Jeremiah 5:26 in Context — Jeremiah 5
24 Nem sequer dizem em seu coração: Temamos agora ao SENHOR nosso Deus, que dá chuva temporã e tardia em seu tempo; os tempos estabelecidos da ceifa ele nos guarda.
25 Vossas perversidades têm desviado estas coisas; e vossos pecados afastaram de vós o bem.
26 Porque foram achados perversos em meu povo; eles espiavam como quem põe laços; puseram armadilhas para prenderem homens.
27 Como uma gaiola cheia de pássaros, assim estão suas casas cheias de engano: assim eles se fizeram grandes e ricos.
28 Eles se engordaram e ficaram lustrosos, e ultrapassaram os limites das obras do mal; não julgam causa nenhuma, [nem sequer] a causa do órfão; porém fizeram-se prósperos; nem julgam o direito dos necessitados.
