'Widows' in the Bible
and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Thou hast sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death, And his widows shall make no lamentation.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation.
Their priests fell by the sword; And their widows made no lamentation.
Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is profane and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday: I have caused anguish and terrors to fall upon her suddenly.
Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, and their young men smitten of the sword in battle.
Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
We are orphans and fatherless; Our mothers are as widows.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst thereof.
