Micah 7:3 - Good News Bible (Catholic edition in Septuagint order)They are all experts at doing evil. Officials and judges ask for bribes. The influential person tells them what he wants, and so they scheme together. See the chapterMore versionsKing James Version (Oxford) 1769That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. See the chapterAmplified Bible - Classic EditionBoth their hands are put forth and are upon what is evil to do it diligently; the prince and the judge ask for a bribe, and the great man utters his evil desire. Thus they twist between them [the course of justice]. See the chapterAmerican Standard Version (1901)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. See the chapterCommon English BibleTheir hands are skilled at doing evil. Official and judge alike ask for a bribe; the powerful speak however they like; this is how they conspire. See the chapterCatholic Public Domain VersionThe evil of their hands, they call good. The leader is demanding, and the judge is yielding, and the great is speaking the desire of his soul, and they have confused it. See the chapter |
