Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

The verse 7 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.

wiewohl er's nicht so meint und sein Herz nicht so denkt; sondern sein Herz steht, zu vertilgen und auszurotten nicht wenig Völker.
Aunque él no lo pensará así, ni su corazón lo imaginará de esta manera; sino que su pensamiento será desarraigar y cortar gentes no pocas.
Pero ella no lo piensa así, ni su corazón lo considera de ese modo; en su corazón está destruir y exterminar no pocas naciones.
Mais il n'en juge pas ainsi, Et ce n'est pas là la pensée de son coeur; Il ne songe qu'à détruire, Qu'à exterminer les nations en foule.
Ma egli non penserà già così, e il suo cuore non istimerà già così; anzi penserà nel cuor suo di distruggere, e di sterminar genti non poche.
Ainda que ele não cuide assim, nem o seu coração assim o imagine; antes no seu coração intenta destruir e desarraigar não poucas nações.
然而,這並非他的意念, 他的心不是這樣打算; 他的心要摧毀, 要剪除不少的國家。
