Detailed explanation-1: -One of the witches then chants: “By the pricking of my thumbs, / Something wicked this way comes” (4.1.61–62). In fulfillment of the witch’s prediction, Macbeth enters.
Detailed explanation-2: -What does the second witch mean when she says, “By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes."? Who does the witch think is wicked? She is saying that she knows something wicked is coming by the tingling of her thumbs. She is referring to Macbeth as wicked.
Detailed explanation-3: -The witch utters that someone wicked is coming, and she can say it by the pricking of her thumb. Witches possess supernatural powers, which is evident in the play. The witch sensed someone evil and wicked just by the tingling in her thumb.
