1 How terrible it will be for those who make unfair laws,and those who write laws that make life hard for people.
2 They are not fair to the poor,and they rob my people of their rights.They allow people to steal from widowsand to take from orphans what really belongs to them.
3 How will you explain the things you have done?What will you do when your destruction comes from far away?Where will you run for help?Where will you hide your riches then?
4 You will have to bow down among the captivesor fall down among the dead bodies.But the Lord is still angry;his hand is still raised to strike down the people.
