Commentary for Jeremiah 5:27

כִּכְלוּב֙ מָ֣לֵא ע֔וֹף כֵּ֥ן בָּתֵּיהֶ֖ם מְלֵאִ֣ים מִרְמָ֑ה עַל־כֵּ֥ן גָּדְל֖וּ וַֽיַּעֲשִֽׁירוּ׃

As a cage is full of birds, So are their houses full of deceit; Therefore they are become great, and waxen rich;

Rashi on Jeremiah

As a cage That is a place where they fatten fowl, and so does Jonathan render it, like a fattening place, and in O.F. (frank).
