Bible warning: Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees. Isaiah 10:1
The prophet Isaiah was one of the most important major prophets of the Old Testament and in his first book he listed a series of misfortunes to warn the Kingdom of Judah that due to its errors, it faced an uncertain present and future.
Isaiah was able to witness the last years of the existence of the Kingdom of Israel with its capital in Samaria, and he prophesied against this Kingdom when its King allied himself with the Kingdom of Aram to defeat the King of Judah and place a usurper in his place. Isaiah was not only a clairvoyant and prophet, but also a skilled counselor and politician. Isaiah was a successful man because of his fear of God (constancy, firmness, devotion) and wisdom.
Isaiah as a prophet taught that tyrannies are contrary to the will of God, and that oppression, the most direct result of this type of government that only serves the good of the ruler, only generates suffering and misfortune. This is why Isaiah wrote this spiritual warning in the Bible:
"Woe to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,
to deprive the poor of their rights
and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
making widows their prey
and robbing the fatherless" Isaiah 10:1-2.
With this teaching, Isaiah recalled the teaching of Psalm 1, the Psalm of the two paths, the path of error only leads men to a false, passing happiness, and does not bring with it the true spiritual goods that man needs to live. The tyrant Sennacherib, who was prophesied by Isaiah, followed this path, and the Bible narrates that after being defeated in Jerusalem by King Hezekiah, he was murdered in Assyria by his sons.
