101 Woe to those who enact evil statutes And to those who constantly record unjust decisions , 2 So as to deprive the needy of justice And rob the poor of My people of their rights , So that widows may be their spoil And that they may plunder the orphans . 3 Now what will you do in the day of punishment , And in the devastation which will come from afar ? To whom will you flee for help ? And where will you leave your wealth ? 4 Nothing remains but to crouch among the captives Or fall among the slain . In spite of all this , His anger does not turn away And His hand is still stretched out.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 10:1-4
Commentary on Isaiah 10:1-4
(Read Isaiah 10:1-4)
These verses are to be joined with the foregoing chapter. Woe to the superior powers that devise and decree unrighteous decrees! And woe to the inferior officers that draw them up, and enter them on record! But what will sinners do? Whither will they flee?
