Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

X. 1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to scribes that prescribe oppression:

2 To turn aside the weak from judgment, and to strip the right from the poor of I my people, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may prey on orphans.

3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the ruin that cometh from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

4 (Nought remains), but to crouch under the prisoners, and fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
