American Standard Version
"Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write perverseness; "
— Isaiah 10:1, American Standard Version
“Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;”
“Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees;”
“Beware, those who enact unjust policies, those who are always instituting unfair regulations,”
“Woe to them that make wicked laws: and when they write, write injustice:”
“Cursed are those who make evil decisions, and the writers who make the records of their cruel acts:”
“Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;”
Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write perverseness;
to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
They shall only bow down under the prisoners, and shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
