2 To rob the needy of justice,
And to take what is right from the poor of My people,
That widows may be their prey,
And that they may rob the fatherless.
And to take what is right from the poor of My people,
That widows may be their prey,
And that they may rob the fatherless.
3 aWhat will you do in bthe day of punishment,
And in the desolation which will come from cafar?
To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you leave your glory?
And in the desolation which will come from cafar?
To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you leave your glory?
4 Without Me they shall bow down among the aprisoners,
And they shall fall1 among the slain.”
bFor all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
And they shall fall1 among the slain.”
bFor all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.

And against the people of My wrath
I will bgive him charge,
To seize the spoil, to take the prey,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
And against the people of My wrath
I will bgive him charge,
To seize the spoil, to take the prey,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
