26 “Among my people are the wicked

who lie in wait like men who snare birds

and like those who set traps to catch people.

26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

26 “Among my people are wicked men

who lie in wait for victims like a hunter hiding in a blind.

They continually set traps

to catch people.

26 ‘For among My people are found wicked men;

They lie in wait as one who sets snares;

They set a trap;

They catch men.

26 There are wicked men among my people.

Like those who make nets for catching birds,

they set their traps to catch people.

26 For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.

26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as fowlers stoop down; they set a trap, they catch men.

26 “Wicked people are found among my people. 

They lie in ambush like bird catchers. 

They set traps and catch people. 

26 for wicked men live among My people.

They watch like fowlers lying in wait.

They set a trap;

they catch men.

26 For scoundrels are found among my people;

they take over the goods of others.

Like fowlers they set a trap;

they catch human beings.

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.

26 “Jeremiah, some of my people are evil.

They hide and wait just as people hide to catch birds.

They set traps for men.

26 ‘For wicked men are found among My people,

They watch like fowlers lying in wait;

They set a trap,

They catch men.
