Jeremiah 5:27

Context

5:27 Like a cage filled with the birds that have been caught, 1 

their houses are filled with the gains of their fraud and deceit. 2 

That is how they have gotten so rich and powerful. 3 

1 tn The words, “that have been caught” are not in the text but are implicit in the comparison.

2 tn Heb “are filled with deceit.” The translation assumes a figure of speech of cause for effect (metonymy). Compare the same word in the same figure in Zeph 1:9.

3 tn Heb “therefore they have gotten great and rich.”
