Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Nach dem Bösen sind beide Hände gerichtet, um es wohl auszuführen. Der Fürst fordert, und der Richter richtet gegen Entgelt, und der Große spricht die Gier seiner Seele aus, und sie flechten es ineinander.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Para completar la maldad con sus manos, el príncipe demanda, y el juez juzga por recompensa; y el grande habla el antojo de su alma, y lo confirman.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Suas mãos são habilidosas em fazer o mal; o príncipe dá ordens e o juiz julga por propina; e o grande fala o mau desejo de sua alma, e colaboram com ele.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
As suas mãos são boas só para fazer o mal: o governante exige dinheiro, o juiz aceita suborno, e o homem poderoso está dizendo aos outros o que quer obter. Assim, eles tramam juntos.
📖 Micah 7:3 in Context
1Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.
2The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3That 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.
4The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
5Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
