Jeremias 5:24-30 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

24. And they have not said in their heart: let us fear the Lord our God, who giveth us the early and the latter rain in due season: who preserveth for us the fullness of the yearly harvest.

25. Your iniquities have turned these things away, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

26. For among my people are found wicked men, that lie in wait as fowlers, setting snares and traps to catch men.

27. As a net is full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit: therefore are they become great and enriched.

28. They are grown gross and fat: andhave most wickedly transgressed my words. They have not judged the cause of the widow, they have not managed the cause of the fatherless, they have not judged the judgement of the poor.

29. Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul take revenge on such a nation?

30. Astonishing and wonderful things have been done in the land.
