他们好像捕鸟的人蹲伏窥探，装置网罗捕捉人。笼中怎样满了雀鸟，他们

在我的子民中发现了恶人，他们好像捕鸟的人蹲伏窥探，装置网罗捕捉人。笼中怎样满了雀鸟，他们的屋里也满了诡诈；他们就因此财雄势大。他们肥胖光润，作尽各种坏事；他们不为人辩护，不替孤儿辨屈，使他们获益，也不为穷人伸冤。(耶利米书 5:26-28 新译本)

“Among my people are the wicked who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch people. Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not seek justice. They do not promote the case of the fatherless; they do not defend the just cause of the poor. (Jeremiah 5:26-28 NIV)
