Footnotes
זִמָּה (zimmah) — 'wicked schemes' — carries connotations beyond generic wickedness. It denotes premeditated, calculated evil: devious plots with overtones of moral depravity and predatory intent (cf. Leviticus 18:17; Job 31:11). שֹׁחַד (shochad), 'bribe,' is the instrument of judicial corruption — the right hand, normally raised in oath or lifted in offering, is here the vehicle of perversion. The two hands together paint a portrait of total moral inversion: hands that should serve justice instead scheme and corrupt it. FOG and FOG Message both preserve the hand imagery; FOG Message uses 'heavy with bribes' to render the weight of moral culpability more viscerally.
