1 Woe to those decreeing decrees of iniquity and writers writing perverseness, 2 to turn aside justness from the poor, and to tear away justice from the lowly of My people, that widows may be their prey, and fatherless their plunder! 3 And what will you? do in the day of reckoning, and at the desolation that comes from afar? Upon whom will you? flee for help, and where will you? leave your? wealth? 4 Nothing remains but to kneel down among the prisoners, and among the slain they will fall. In all this, His anger is not turned back and His hand is still stretched out. 5 Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger, and the staff that is in their hand is My rage. 6 I will send him against a godless nation and I will order him against the people of My wrath, to plunder the plunder and to prey on the prey, and to set them for trampling like the clay of the streets. 7 And he does not consider it so, and his heart does not reckon it so, for to destroy is in his heart, and to cut off nations—not a few.
