Isaiah 10:1-4

Isaiah 10:1-4

[1] Woe  unto them that decree  unrighteous  decrees,  and that write  grievousness  which they have prescribed;  [2] To turn aside  the needy  from judgment,  and to take away  the right  from the poor  of my people,  that widows  may be their prey,  and that they may rob  the fatherless!  [3] And what will ye do  in the day  of visitation,  and in the desolation  which shall come  from far?  to whom will ye flee  for help?  and where will ye leave  your glory?  [4] Without me they shall  bow down  under the prisoners,  and they shall fall  under the slain.  For all this his anger  is not turned away,  but his hand  is stretched out still.
