The fatherless

Widows, thou hast sent away empty, and, the arms of the fatherless, thou dost crush.

The ass of the fatherless, they drive off, they take in pledge the ox of the widow;

Because I used to deliver the oppressed who was crying out for aid, the fatherless also, and him that had no helper;

Or, used to eat my morsel alone, so that the fatherless did not eat thereof;

Neither widow nor fatherless, shalt thou humiliate:

Vindicate the weak and the fatherless, The oppressed and the poor, see righted;

Do not move back the ancient boundary, and, into the fields of the fatherless, do not enter;

Father and mother, have they despised in thee, To the sojourner, have they dealt with oppression in the midst of thee, - The fatherless and the widow, have they maltreated in thee:

Therefore will I draw near unto you for judgment, and will become a swift witness against the mutterers of incantations, and against the adulterers, and against them that swear to a falsehood, - and against them who rob the hire of the hireling, the widow and the fatherless, and that drive away the sojourner, and do not revere me, saith Yahweh of hosts.

Religious observance, pure and undefiled with our God and Father, is, this - to be visiting orphans and widows in their affliction, unspotted, to keep, himself, from the world.

Ye dig

A pit, he cut out, and digged it, and then fell into the ditch he had made:

A net, did they fix for my steps, My soul was bowed down, - They digged before me a pit, They fell into the midst thereof! Selah.

Shall, evil, be recompensed for good? For they have digged a pit for my life, - Remember how I stood before thee To speak in their behalf what was good! To turn back thine indignation from them.
