11 Her own head ones judge merely for a bribe,+ and her own priests instruct just for a price,+ and her own prophets practice divination simply for money;*+ yet upon Jehovah they keep supporting themselves, saying: “Is not Jehovah in the midst of us?+ There will come upon us no calamity.”+

3 [Their] hands are upon what is bad, to do [it] well;+ the prince is asking [for something], and the one who is judging [does so] for the reward,+ and the great one is speaking forth the craving of his soul, his very own;+ and they interweave it.
