1 Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write perverseness;
1
Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees,
2 to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
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.
