  1. 1Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees;
  2. 2to deprive the needy from justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
  3. 3What 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?
  4. 4They 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.
