10 Woe to those who ^(A)decree iniquitous decrees,
    and the writers who ^(B)keep writing oppression,
² to turn aside the needy from justice
    and ^(C)to rob the poor of my people of their right,
that widows may be their spoil,
    and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
³ What will you do on ^(D)the day of punishment,
    in the ruin that will come ^(E)from afar?
To whom will you flee for help,
    and where will you leave your wealth?
⁴ Nothing remains but to crouch among the prisoners
    or fall among the slain.
^(F)For all this his anger has not turned away,
    and his hand is stretched out still.

⁸ “Remember this and stand firm,
    recall it to mind, ^(A)you transgressors,
⁹     remember the former things of old;
for I am God, and there is no other;
    I am God, and there is none like me,
^10 (B)declaring the end from the beginning
    and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, ^(C)‘My counsel shall stand,
    and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
^11 (D)calling a bird of prey from the east,
    the man of my counsel from a far country.
^(E)I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;
    I have purposed, and I will do it.

¹² “Listen to me, you stubborn of heart,
    you who are far from righteousness:
^13 (F)I bring near my righteousness; it is not far off,
    and my salvation will not delay;
^(G)I will put salvation in Zion,
    for Israel my glory.”
