101 Wo 'to' those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness. 2 To turn aside from judgment the poor, And to take violently away the judgment Of the afflicted of My people, That widows may be their prey, That the fatherless they may spoil. 3 And what do ye at a day of inspection? And at desolation?—from afar it cometh. Near whom do ye flee for help? And where do ye leave your honour? 4 Without Me it hath bowed down In the place of a bound one, And in the place of the slain they fall. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is 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?
