27 As a cage is full of birds,so are their houses full of deceit.Therefore they have become great and rich.
28 They are fat, they are sleek.Indeed, they excel in deeds of wickedness.They do not judge the cause of the fatherless, so that they may prosper;and the right of the needy they do not defend.
29 Shall I not punish them for these things?says the Lord.Shall not My soul be avengedon such a nation as this?
30 An appalling and horrible thinghas been committed in the land.
31 The prophets prophesy falsely,and the priests rule by their own authority;and My people love to have it so.Yet what will you do in the end?
