Jehovah preserves the strangers; He relieves the orphan and widow, but the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

learn to do good; seek judgment, reprove the oppressor. Judge the orphan, plead for the widow.

your rulers are rebellious, and companions of thieves; everyone loves a bribe, and is pursuing rewards; they do not judge the orphan, nor does the cause of the widow come to them.

In you they have despised father and mother. In your midst they have dealt with the stranger by oppression. In you they oppressed the orphan and the widow.

And do not crush the widow or the orphan, the alien or the poor. And do not devise evil in your heart, of a man against his brother.

And I will come near you to judgment. And I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those who extort from the hired laborer's wages, and turning away the widow, and the orphan, the alien, and not fearing Me, says Jehovah of Hosts.
