## Jeremiah 5:26-27 in Context (Verses 23–30 KJV)
 
 [23 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/23) But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/24) Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/25) ¶ Your iniquities have turned away these *things*, and your sins have withholden good *things* from you.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/26) For among my people are found wicked *men:* they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.*
 
 [27 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/27) As a cage is full of birds, so *are* their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.*
 
 [28 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/28) They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/29) Shall I not visit for these *things*? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
 
 [30 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/30) ¶ A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;*
 
[Jeremiah 4](/kjv/jeremiah/4) [Jeremiah 6](/kjv/jeremiah/6)
