Thematic Bible: To the widow and fatherless


Thematic Bible






But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.


If any man's work comes through the test, he will have a reward.

But glory and honour and peace to all whose works are good, to the Jew first and then to the Greek:


The house of the man of pride will be uprooted by the Lord, but he will make safe the heritage of the widow.

Assyria will not be our salvation; we will not go on horses; we will not again say to the work of our hands, You are our gods; for in you there is mercy for the child who has no father.


You have seen it; for your eyes are on sorrow and grief, to take it into your hand: the poor man puts his faith in you; you have been the helper of the child who has no father.



Put in my care your children who have no father, and I will keep them safe; and let your widows put their faith in me.
