25. Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good things from you.
26. For among my people are found wicked men: they lie in wait, as he that sets snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they have become great, and grown rich.
28. They have grown fat, they shine: yea, they pass over the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not defend.
