Isaiah 10:1-4

International Children’s Bible

10 How terrible it will be for the lawmakers who write evil laws.
    They write laws that make life hard for people.
² They are not fair to the poor.
    They rob my people of their rights.
They allow people to steal from widows
    and to take from orphans what they should get.
³ Lawmakers, 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 money and your riches then?
⁴ You will have to bow down among the captives.
    You will fall down among the dead bodies.

But the Lord is still angry.
    His hand is still raised to strike down the people.
