Context of Isaiah 10:3
1Woe unto them that decree iniquitous decrees, and to the writers that prescribe oppression, 2to turn away the poor from judgment, and to take away the right from the afflicted of my people; that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the sudden destruction [which] shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help, and where will ye leave your glory? 4They can but crouch under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still. 5Ah! the Assyrian! the rod of mine anger! and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
