Woe to Assyria
“Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; that write: or, to the writers that write grievousness”
Isaiah 10:1 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 10:1
A woe oracle targets unjust lawmakers who create oppressive legislation. 'Decree unrighteous decrees' refers to enacting unjust laws. 'Write grievousness' means recording oppressive regulations—making injustice official policy. This demonstrates that individual sin isn't the only concern; systemic, institutionalized injustice incurs divine wrath. When legal systems become instruments of oppression rather than justice, God pronounces judgment. The Reformed tradition has always emphasized both personal and structural righteousness.
