Micah 7:3 — KJV
With both hands. The Hebrew of the opening clause is obscure. The Septuagint reads, “They prepare their hands for mischief.”
A reward. Bribery, an ancient vice, is here condemned (see Isaiah 1:23).
They wrap it up. The Hebrew of the clause thus translated is obscure. The verb occurs only here and the meaning is therefore uncertain.
