“Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.”
Psalms 58:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 58:2
The contrast between speaking justice (v.1) and working wickedness 'in heart' reveals that sin originates internally before manifesting in action (Mark 7:21-23). 'Weigh the violence of your hands' uses courtroom imagery—judges who should weigh evidence instead weigh out (dispense) violence. This inversion of justice anticipates eschatological judgment where earthly judges face divine scrutiny.
