For the impious are found among my people; they lie in ambush like fowlers setting snares, for they set traps to catch men.
Just as a snare is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. As a result, they have become exalted and enriched.
They have grown stout and fat. And they have transgressed my words most wickedly. They have not judged the case of the widow; they have not given guidance to the case of the orphan; and they have not judged a judgment for the poor.
Shall I not visit against these things, says the Lord? Or shall my soul not take vengeance on a nation of this kind?
Astonishing and wondrous things have been done upon the earth.
