To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

The verse 2 is found in chapter 10 of Isaiah. The woe against those who enact unjust laws directly connects sin with the administration of justice. The oppressor may use legal structures to dispossess widows and orphans, but human authority remains subject to divine judgment. The text reminds us that law and power must answer to God’s justice.

auf daß sie die Sache der Armen beugen und Gewalt üben am Recht der Elenden unter meinem Volk, daß die Witwen ihr Raub und die Waisen ihre Beute sein müssen!
Por apartar del juicio a los pobres, y por quitar el derecho a los afligidos de mi pueblo; por despojar las viudas, y robar los huérfanos!
para apartar del juicio a los necesitados y robar sus derechos a los pobres de mi pueblo, para hacer de las viudas su botín y despojar a los huérfanos!
Pour refuser justice aux pauvres, Et ravir leur droit aux malheureux de mon peuple, Pour faire des veuves leur proie, Et des orphelins leur butin!
per fare scadere i miseri dal giudicio, e per rapire il diritto a’ poveri del mio popolo; acciocchè le vedove sieno le loro spoglie, e per predar gli orfani!
Para desviarem os pobres do seu direito, e para arrebatarem o direito dos aflitos do meu povo; para despojarem as viúvas e roubarem os órfãos!
為要扭曲貧寒人的案件, 奪去我民中困苦人的理, 以寡婦當作擄物, 以孤兒當作掠物。
