Both hands are skilled in doing evil; the ruler demands gifts, the judge accepts bribes, the powerful dictate what they desire— they all conspire together.

They are very good at doing what is evil. Rulers require gifts. Judges accept money from people who want special favors. Those who are powerful always get what they want. All of them make evil plans together.

Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well; the prince and the judge ask for a bribe, and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul; thus they weave it together.

Both their hands are equally skilled at doing evil! Officials and judges alike demand bribes. The people with influence get what they want, and together they scheme to twist justice.

Both hands are good at accomplishing evil: the official and the judge demand a bribe; when the powerful man communicates his evil desire, they plot it together.

As for evil, both hands do it well. The leader asks for a bribe, also the judge, And the great one speaks the capricious desire of his soul; So they plot it together.

That they may successfully do evil with both hands— The prince asks for gifts, The judge seeks a bribe, And the great man utters his evil desire; So they scheme together.

Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge is ready for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul: thus they weave it together.

城裡的首領為貪贓而枉法，祭司為銀子而施教，先知為錢財而占卜。他們卻宣稱倚靠耶和華，說：「耶和華不是在我們當中嗎？災禍不會臨到我們。」

因為他們不作惡就無法入睡，不絆倒人就無法安眠；他們吃的是邪惡餅，喝的是殘暴酒。

我知道你們的過犯眾多、罪惡無數。你們迫害義人，收受賄賂，在城門口冤枉窮人。

因此，我要把他們的妻子和田地交給別人，因為他們無論貴賤，個個貪圖不義之財；無論是先知還是祭司，都行為詭詐。

所以，時候未到，不可妄下斷語。到主耶穌再來的時候，祂會揭開暗中的隱情，使人心裡的動機顯露。到時候上帝會給各人應得的稱讚。

你的首領好像撕碎獵物的豺狼，殺人流血，謀取不義之財。

你的首領是叛逆之徒，與盜賊為伍，個個收受賄賂，貪圖好處，不為孤兒辯護，不替寡婦伸冤。

信上說：「你們要宣告禁食，讓拿伯在百姓中坐首位，叫兩個無賴坐在他對面控告他咒詛上帝和君王，然後把他拉出去用石頭打死。」與拿伯同居一城的長老和貴族接到來信，便依照信裡的指示行事。他們宣告禁食，讓拿伯在百姓中坐首位，又叫兩名無賴當眾作證指控拿伯咒詛上帝和君王。然後眾人把拿伯拖出城外，用石頭打死了他。事情辦好了以後，他們就派人去把拿伯被石頭打死的消息告訴耶洗別。

他們酒足興盡之後，便不住地行淫；他們的首領戀慕羞恥之事。

看啊，耶和華要走出祂的居所，懲罰世上犯罪的人。大地必不再隱藏被殺之人的屍首，必將所流的血顯露出來。

「『看啊，在你城中的以色列首領各逞權勢，殺人流血。

「如果我把耶穌交給你們，你們肯出多少錢？」他們就給了他三十塊銀子。

難道你會永遠發怒、懷恨到底嗎？』你雖然這樣說，卻仍大肆作惡。」

這時，成千上萬的人聚集在一起，甚至互相踐踏。耶穌先對門徒說：「你們要提防法利賽人的酵，就是他們的偽善。掩蓋的事終會暴露出來，隱藏的秘密終會被人知道。
