The fatherless

“You have sent widows away empty,
And the strength of the orphans has been crushed.

“They drive away the donkeys of the orphans;
They take the widow’s ox for a pledge.

Because I delivered the poor who cried for help,
And the orphan who had no helper.

Or have eaten my morsel alone,
And the orphan has not shared it

You shall not afflict any widow or orphan.

Vindicate the weak and fatherless;

Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

Do not move the ancient boundary
Or go into the fields of the fatherless,

They have treated father and mother lightly within you. The alien they have oppressed in your midst; the fatherless and the widow they have wronged in you.

“Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against those who swear falsely, and against those who oppress the wage earner in his wages, the widow and the orphan, and those who turn aside the

alien and do not fear Me,” says the Lord of hosts.

Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Ye dig

He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,
And has fallen into the hole which he made.

They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They dug a pit before me;
They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.

Should good be repaid with evil?

For they have dug a pit for me.
Remember how I stood before You
To speak good on their behalf,
So as to turn away Your wrath from them.
