1
Woe to them that write wickedness; for when they write they do write wickedness,
2
perverting the cause of the poor, violently wresting the judgment of the needy ones of my people, that the widow may be a prey to them, and the orphan a spoil.
3
And what will they do in the day of visitation? for affliction shall come to you from afar: and to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory,
4
that ye may not fall into captivity? For all this wrath is not turned away, but hand is yet exalted.
5
Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of my wrath, and anger are in their hands.
