1 Doom to those who pronounce wicked decrees, and keep writing harmful laws
1
Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees,
2 to deprive the needy of their rights and to rob the poor among my people of justice; to make widows their loot; to steal from orphans! when disaster comes from far away? To whom will you flee for help; where will you stash your wealth?
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.
