Jeremiah 5:27
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
KJV
Sicut decipula plena avibus, sic domus eorum plenæ dolo : ideo magnificati sunt et ditati.
Vulgate
ὡς παγὶς ἐφεσταμένη πλήρης πετεινῶν, οὕτως οἱ οἶκοι αὐτῶν πλήρεις δόλου· διὰ τοῦτο ἐμεγαλύνθησαν καὶ ἐπλούτησαν,
LXX
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxed rich.
