A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands for rest--


For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies, your tongue speaks wickedness.

in whose hands [is] an evil plan, and whose right hand is full of bribes.

Their hands [are] upon evil, to do [it] well; the official and the judge ask for the bribe, and the great [man] utters the evil desire of his soul; and they weave [it] together.


Yahweh has made himself known; he has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his hands. Higgaion Selah
