Isaiah 10:1-4
Legacy Standard Bible
10 Woe to those who (A)enact evil statutes
And to those who constantly record [a]mischief,
2 So as (B)to turn the poor away from their cause
And rob the afflicted of My people of their justice,
So (C)that widows may be their spoil
And that they may plunder the [b]orphans.
3 Now (D)what will you do in the (E)day of visitation,
And in the devastation which will come (F)from afar?
(G)To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you leave your [c]glory?
4 Nothing remains but to crouch [d]among the (H)captives
Or fall [e]among those (I)killed.
(J)In spite of all this, His anger does not turn back
And His hand is still stretched out.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 Woe to those who make iniquitous decrees,
who write oppressive statutes,(A)
2 to turn aside the needy from justice
and to rob the poor of my people of their right,
to make widows their spoil
and to plunder orphans!(B)
3 What will you do on the day of punishment,
in the calamity that will come from far away?
To whom will you flee for help,
and where will you leave your wealth,(C)
4 so as not to crouch among the prisoners
or fall among the slain?
For all this his anger has not turned away;
his hand is stretched out still.(D)
