1 Ah! Those who enact unjust statutes,who write oppressive decrees,
2 Depriving the needy of judgment,robbing my people’s poor of justice,Making widows their plunder,and orphans their prey!
3 What will you do on the day of punishment,when the storm comes from afar?To whom will you flee for help?Where will you leave your wealth,
4 Lest it sink beneath the captiveor fall beneath the slain?For all this, his wrath is not turned back,his hand is still outstretched!
