26 “‘For among my people there have been found wicked men.+ They keep peering, as when birdcatchers crouch down.+ They have set a ruinous [trap].* It is men* that they catch.

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.
