"Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees;"
— Isaiah 10:1, World English Bible
“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; ”
“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 decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees;
to deprive the needy from justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?
They will only bow down under the prisoners, and will fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
