One which devises mischief by decree?

20Can a throne of destruction be allied with You,

One which frames and devises mischief by decree [under the sacred name of law]?

20Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee,

Which frameth mischief by statute?

20Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?

20Can you have anything to do with rulers who aren’t fair?

Can those who make laws that cause suffering be friends of yours?

20You will not become a friend of cruel rulers.

They make laws that only hurt people.

20Is a throne of mischief joined [with] You? A framer of perverseness by statute?
