23 But for this people is a stubborn and rebellious heart, they have turned aside and have gone away.
24 And they do not say in their hearts, ‘Let us fear please Yahweh our God, the one who gives the autumn rain and the spring rain in its season, the set times of the harvest he keeps for us.’
25 Your iniquities have disturbed these, and your sins have kept away the good from you.
26 For wicked people are found among my people, they lie in wait like the hiding of fowlers, they set up a trap, they catch humans.
27 Like a cage full of birds, so their houses are full of fraud. Therefore they have become great, and they have become rich.
28 They have grown fat, they have grown sleek, also, their evil deeds have no limit. They do not judge with justice, the legal cause of the orphan, or allow it to succeed, and the legal case of the poor, they do not defend.
29 Because of these things shall I not punish?” declares Yahweh, “and on a nation who is like this, shall I not take revenge?
