1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
1
Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees,
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor 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.
