Preserveth

A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.

He executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing.

and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter and your male and female servants and the Levite who is in your town, and the stranger and the orphan and the widow who are in your midst, in the place where the Lord your God chooses to establish His name.

The Lord will tear down the house of the proud,
But He will establish the boundary of the widow.

“Leave your

orphans behind, I will keep them alive;

And let your widows trust in Me.”

“Assyria will not save us,
We will not ride on horses;
Nor will we say again, ‘Our god,’
To the work of our hands;
For in You the orphan finds mercy.”

“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.
