Woe to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,
to deprive the poor of their rights
and rob my oppressed people of justice,
making widows their prey
and robbing the fatherless.
What will you do on the day of reckoning,
when disaster comes from afar?
To whom will you run for help?
Where will you leave your riches?
Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives
or fall among the slain.
Isaiah 10:1-4 (NIV)
