Isaiah 10:1-7

¹Woe unto those that decree decrees of unrighteousness, and the writers who write down wrongful things;

²To turn aside from judgment the needy, and to rob the just due of the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may plunder the fatherless!

³And what will ye do on the day of the visitation, and at the desolation which will come from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

⁴Without me they shall kneel down under the prisoners, and under the slain shall they fall. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand still remaineth stretched out.

⁵Woe over Asshur, the rod of my anger; and a staff is in their hand my indignation.

⁶Against a hypocritical nation will I send him, and against the people of my fury will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to carry off the prey, and to render them trodden down like the mire of the streets.

⁷But he deemeth it not so, and his heart doth not think so; but to destroy is in his heart, and to cut off nations not a few.
