Micah 7:3

Read Full Chapter
Both hands are skilled at evil; the prince and the judge demand a bribe. When the powerful utters his evil desire, they all conspire together.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.
World English Bible (WEB)
That they may do evil{H7451} with both hands{H3709} earnestly{H3190}{(H8687)}, the prince{H8269} asketh{H7592}{(H8802)}, and the judge{H8199}{(H8802)} asketh for a reward{H7966}; and the great{H1419} man, he uttereth{H1696}{(H8802)} his mischievous{H1942} desire{H5315}: so they wrap it up{H5686}{(H8762)}.
Strong's King James
Both hands are good at doing evil, The official asks the judge for a bribe, A great man speaks its capricious desires [with] his whole being, So they plot it together.
The F.O.G
The F.O.G Paraphrase
On the evil are both hands to do it well, The prince is asking—also the judge—for recompence, And the great—he is speaking the mischief of his soul, And they wrap it up.
