Open this scene in the reader →26For wicked people are found among my people; they lie in wait like bird-catchers. They set a trap; they catch people.
27Like a cage full of birds, their houses are full of goods gained by deceit; that is how they have become powerful and rich.
28They have grown fat and sleek; they have gone beyond all bounds in evil. They do not uphold the cause of the fatherless to secure justice for them, and they do not defend the rights of the poor.
29Shall I not punish for these things? declares Yahweh. Shall I not avenge myself on a nation such as this?
