Isaiah / Question
Question source
Isaiah
Isaiah pronounces woe on those who make unjust decrees and write oppressive statutes (Isaiah 10:1). The charge includes turning aside the needy, robbing the poor of justice, and preying on widows and the fatherless (Isaiah 10:2). It warns of an approaching day of punishment with nowhere to flee (Isaiah 10:3).
1Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write perverseness;
2to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
3What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory?
