“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 to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:
in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.
