10 Ah! Those who decree decrees of evil,
    and writers who have written harm,
² to guide the needy away from legal claims,^[a]
    and to rob the justice from the poor of my people,
    to make widows their spoil;
and they plunder orphans.
³ And what will you do at the day of punishment,
    and at calamity? It comes from afar!
To whom will you flee for help,
    and where will you leave your wealth,
