Charles Spurgeon Commentary Jeremiah 5:26

"For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men." — Jeremiah 5:26 (ASV)

For among my people are found wicked men:

Among my people, says the Lord—in the very church itself, making as loud a profession as the most genuine Christian—among my people are found wicked men. Here, in this place, tonight, mingling with the godly in this congregation, are found wicked men. The Lord have mercy upon them, and turn them from their evil ways!

They lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

Beware of these man-catchers, who entrap souls, and ruin them forever, ensnaring them by leading them into evil habits and transgressions.
