25
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.
26
For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.
27
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and grew rich.
28
They are grew fat, they shine: yes, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they don`t plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and the right of the needy they don`t judge.
29
Shall I not visit for these things? says Yahweh; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
