26“Jeremiah, some of my people are evil.
They hide and wait just as people hide to catch birds.
They set traps for men.
27A hunter uses tricks to fill his cage with birds.
And my people have filled their houses with a lot of goods.
They have become rich and powerful.

For wicked people are found among my people,

Therefore they have become great,
and they have become rich.
