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.

城中的首領為賄賂而審判，祭司為薪俸而教導，先知為銀子說默示，他們竟倚靠耶和華，說：“耶和華不是在我們中間嗎？災禍必不會臨到我們身上。”

因為他們不行惡，就不能入睡；不使人跌倒，就要失眠。他們吃的，是奸惡的飯；他們喝的，是強暴的酒。

因為我知道你們的過犯眾多，罪大惡極；你們迫害義人，收受賄賂，在城門口屈枉窮乏人；

因此，我必把他們的妻子給別人，把他們的田地給別的主人，因為他們從最小的到最大的，個個都貪圖不義之財；從先知到祭司，全都行事詭詐。

所以時候還沒有到，你們不要批評，直等到主來；他要照出黑暗中的隱情，顯明人心裡的動機。那時，各人要從神那裡得著稱讚。

其中的官長好像撕碎獵物的豺狼，流人的血，滅人的命，為要得不義之財。

你的官長存心悖逆，與盜賊同夥；人都貪愛賄賂，追索私酬；他們不替孤兒伸冤，寡婦的案件也呈不到他們面前。

她在信上寫著說：“你們要宣告禁食，使拿伯坐在民間的首位上。又叫兩個匪徒坐在拿伯的對面，作見證控告他說：‘你曾經咒詛神和君王’；然後把他拉出去，用石頭把他打死。”於是拿伯城裡的人，就是那些與拿伯同住一城的長老和貴胄，都照著耶洗別送給他們的信上所寫的去行。他們宣告禁食，使拿伯坐在民間的首席上。然後兩個匪徒來坐在拿伯的對面。這兩個流氓當眾作見證控告拿伯，說：“拿伯曾經咒詛神和君王。”眾人就把拿伯拉出城外，用石頭打他，把他打死了。於是他們派人去見耶洗別，說：“拿伯已經被人用石頭打死了。”

他們醉意全消以後，就不斷行淫；他們的官長最喜愛恥辱的事。

因為你看！耶和華從他的居所出來，要懲罰地上居民的罪孽；大地要露出其上所流的血，不再遮蓋被殺的人。”

看哪！以色列的領袖們恃著自己的能力，在你裡面流人的血。

“如果我把他交給你們，你們願意給我甚麼呢？”他們就給了他三十塊銀子。

耶和華怎會永遠懷怒，常存憤恨呢？’你雖然這樣說了，還是盡力去作惡。”

那時有成千上萬的人聚在一起，甚至彼此踐踏。耶穌就先對門徒說：“你們要提防法利賽人的酵，就是虛偽。沒有甚麼掩蓋的事不被揭露，也沒有甚麼隱藏的事不被人知道。
