Isaiah 10:1-3

New Catholic Bible

¹ Woe to those who enact unjust laws
    and enforce oppressive statutes,
² thereby depriving the needy of justice,
    and making it impossible for the poorest of my people
    to have their rights upheld,
as they plunder the widow
    and make the orphans their prey.
³ What will you do on the day of punishment
    when disaster befalls you from afar?
To whom will you flee for help,
    and where will you leave your riches,
