Jeremiah 5:28

Read Full Chapter
They have grown fat and sleek, and have excelled in the deeds of the wicked. They have not taken up the cause of the fatherless, that they might prosper; nor have they defended the rights of the needy.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excell in deeds of wickedness. They don’t plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they don’t judge the right of the needy.
World English Bible (WEB)
They are waxen fat{H8080}{(H8804)}, they shine{H6245}{(H8804)}: yea, they overpass{H5674}{(H8804)} the deeds{H1697} of the wicked{H7451}: they judge{H1777}{(H8804)} not the cause{H1779}, the cause of the fatherless{H3490}, yet they prosper{H6743}{(H8686)}; and the right{H4941} of the needy{H34} do they not judge{H8199}{(H8804)}.
