Psalms 58:1

1 Justice—do you rulers know the meaning of the word? Do you judge the people fairly?

Psalms 58:1 In-Context

1 Justice—do you rulers know the meaning of the word? Do you judge the people fairly?
2 No! You plot injustice in your hearts. You spread violence throughout the land.
3 These wicked people are born sinners; even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.
4 They spit venom like deadly snakes; they are like cobras that refuse to listen,
5 ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers, no matter how skillfully they play.
