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 in the desolation which will come from cafar?
To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you leave your glory?
And they shall fall1 among the slain.”
bFor all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
Arrogant Assyria Also Judged
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.
