Verse of the Day
Yashaʿyahu 10:1–3 (Isaiah)
Woe to those who establish Khukim of ʿAwun, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees, to turn the Dalim away from Mishpat, and to rob the afflicted of My people of their right, so that widows become their spoil and they plunder the fatherless. And what will you do in the day of visitation and in the destruction that comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your Kabad?
