1 How horrible it will be for those who make unjust lawsand who make oppressive regulations.
2 They deprive the poor of justice.They take away the rights of the needy among my people.They prey on widows and rob orphans.
3 What will you do on the dayyou are called to account ⌊for these things⌋,when the disaster comes from far away?Where will you run for help?Where will you leave your wealth?
4 Nothing’s left but to crouch among prisonersand to fall with those who are killed.Even after all this, his anger will not disappear,and he is still ready to use his power.
