1 Woe unto them that decree iniquitous decrees, and to the writers that prescribe oppression,
1
Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees,
2 to turn away the poor from judgment, and to take away the right from the afflicted of my people; that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
2
to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.
