For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

The verse 26 is found in chapter 5 of Jeremiah. God announces a powerful foreign nation as an instrument of discipline. However, judgment does not mean absolute destruction: it is stated that there will be no complete extermination. The chapter concludes with an accusation against priests, prophets, and rulers who have allowed corruption, showing that the crisis affects the institutions responsible for guiding the people.

Denn man findet unter meinem Volk Gottlose, die den Leuten nachstellen und Fallen zurichten, sie zu fangen, wie die Vogler tun.
Porque fueron hallados en mi pueblo impíos; acechaban como quien pone lazos; pusieron trampa para tomar hombres.
Porque entre mi pueblo se encuentran malvados: acechan como cazadores de aves agazapados, ponen trampas y atrapan personas.
Car il se trouve parmi mon peuple des méchants; Ils épient comme l'oiseleur qui dresse des pièges, Ils tendent des filets, et prennent des hommes.
Perciocchè fra il mio popolo si son trovati degli empi, che stanno a guato, a guisa che gli uccellatori se ne stanno cheti; e rizzano trappole da prendere uomini.
Porque ímpios se acham entre o meu povo; andam espiando, como quem arma laços; põem armadilhas, com que prendem os homens.
在我百姓當中有惡人, 他們埋伏,好像捕鳥的人在窺探 ; 他們設羅網陷害人。
