1Woe to those who decree decrees of wickedness, and the writers who keep writing oppression,

2to turn aside the poor from justice, and to rob the afflicted of my people of their right, so that widows may become their spoil, and they may plunder the fatherless.

3What will you do on the day of punishment, and in the devastation that comes from far away? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth?

4Nothing remains but to crouch among the prisoners or to fall among the slain. For all this his anger has not turned away, and his hand is still stretched out.
