24. And they say not in their heart, Let us now fear Jehovah our God that giveth rain, both the early and the latter, in its season; who preserveth unto us the appointed weeks of harvest.
25. Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden from you what is good.
26. For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as fowlers stoop down; they set a trap, they catch men.
27. As a cage full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and have enriched themselves.
28. They are become fat, they shine, yea, they surpass in deeds of wickedness; they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, and they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not adjudge.
29. Shall I not visit for these things? saith Jehovah; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
