Jeremiah 5:27 in Context — Jeremiah 5

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.

29 Por acaso eu não [os] puniria por causa disto? Diz o SENHOR; e de tal nação não se vingará minha alma?
