101 Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees,
101 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write
101 Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression,
101 Doom to you who legislate evil, who make laws that make victims -
101 "Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, Who write misfortune, Which they have prescribed
101 What sorrow awaits the unjust judges and those who issue unfair laws.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 10:1
Commentary on Isaiah 10:1-4
(Read Isaiah 10:1-4)
These verses are to be joined with the foregoing chapter. Woe to the superior powers that devise and decree unrighteous decrees! And woe to the inferior officers that draw them up, and enter them on record! But what will sinners do? Whither will they flee?
