1 Wo to those decreeing not decrees, and they wrote writings of labor; 2 To turn away the judgment of the powerless, and to strip off judgment of the distressed of my people, for widows to be their plunder, and they will plunder orphans. 3 And what will ye do for the day of reviewing, and for the tempest coming from far off? upon whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory? 4 Not to bow under the bound, and they shall fell under the slain; in all this his anger turned not back, and yet his hand stretched out. 5 Wo to Assur the rod of mine anger, and that rod in their hand, my wrath. 6 Against a polluted nation will I send him, and upon a people of my outpouring will I command him to spoil a spoil and to plunder a plunder, and to set them a treading down as the clay of the streets. 7 And he will not thus purpose, and his heart will not reckon thus; for in his heart to destroy and to cut off nations not few.
