2gThe ||hgood man is perished out of the earth:
And ithere is none upright among men:
They all jlie in wait for blood;
kThey hunt levery man his brother mwith a net.
3That they may do evil with both hands earnestly,
nThe prince asketh, and nothe judge asketh for a reward;
And the great man, he uttereth †his mischievous desire:
So they qwrap it up.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
The godly has perished from the earth,
and there is no one upright among mankind;
they all lie in wait for blood,
and each hunts the other with a net.
Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
the prince and the judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
thus they weave it together.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
The faithful have been swept from the land;
not one upright person remains.
Everyone lies in wait to shed blood;
they hunt each other with nets.
Both hands are skilled in doing evil;
the ruler demands gifts,
the judge accepts bribes,
the powerful dictate what they desire—
they all conspire together.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Faithful people have vanished from the land;
there is no one upright among the people.
All of them wait in ambush to shed blood;
they hunt each other with a net.
Both hands are good at accomplishing evil:
the official and the judge demand a bribe;
when the powerful man communicates his evil desire,
they plot it together.

NLTNew Living Translation
The godly people have all disappeared;
not one honest person is left on the earth.
They are all murderers,
setting traps even for their own brothers.
Both their hands are equally skilled at doing evil!
Officials and judges alike demand bribes.
The people with influence get what they want,
and together they scheme to twist justice.

The faithful person has perished from the land,
