Isaiah 10:1 Context
1Woe vnto them that decree vnrighteous decrees, and that write grieuousnesse which they haue prescribed: 2To turne aside the needy from iudgement, and to take away the right from the poore of my people, that widdowes may be their pray, and that they may robbe the fatherles. 3And what wil ye doe in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from farre? To whom wil ye flee for helpe? And where will yee leaue your glory?
