Isaiah 10:1-4
1 Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue
oppressive decrees,
2 to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold
justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing
the fatherless.
3 What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster
comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your
riches?
4 Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives or
fall among the slain. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand
is still upraised.
Isaiah 10:1-4 - NIV - Woe to those who make unjust ...
Same statements in today’s American English for those who
refuse to hear?
Isaiah returned to assigned reasons for God’s
wrath again!
(1) Iniquities
in administering the laws;
And
(2)
Harsh treatment of those in need.
This is speaking of those who are listened to by
others.
It is bad to sin yourself, but to lead someone
else into sin through statements you make is much worse.
This woe is spoken to those who lead others
astray, with the things they say.
Writing plans for others to live by is very
dangerous, as well, when they are things the writer has decided, and not God.
The leader, who writes or speaks, better speak
as an oracle of God.
Their writing and speaking must be from God and
not from themselves.
