Isaiah 10:1 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 10.

1 Woe to those who enact unjust statutes and issue oppressive decrees,

2 to deprive the poor of fair treatment and withhold justice from the oppressed of My people, to make widows their prey and orphans their plunder.

3 What will you do on the day of reckoning when devastation comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?

4 Nothing will remain but to crouch among the captives or fall among the slain. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

5 Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger; the staff in their hands is My wrath.
