Woe Against Unjust Rulers

Isaiah 10:1-4

Woe to those who enact unjust decrees and draft oppressive legislation

to deprive the impoverished of justice and rob my people's poor of their rights, looting widows and preying on orphans!

What will you do on the day of punishment, when calamity comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth,

so as not to squat among the prisoners or fall among the slain? Even after all this, his anger remains, his upraised hand still threatens.
