Jeremiah 5:28

שָׁמְנוּ עָשְׁתוּ גַּם עָֽבְרוּ דִבְרֵי ־ רָע דִּין לֹא ־ דָנוּ דִּין יָתוֹם וְיַצְלִיחוּ וּמִשְׁפַּט אֶבְיוֹנִים לֹא שָׁפָֽטוּ ׃

Hebrew Tanakh (Original)

In The King James Version

They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass 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 judge.
