10 Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees
    and who write unjust judgments which they have prescribed
to turn aside the needy from justice
    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!
And what will you do in the day of punishment
    and in the desolation which shall come from afar?
To whom will you flee for help,
    and where will you leave your wealth?
