Ye shall not afflict any widow, or
fatherless child.
(Exodus 22:22)
For the LORD your God is God of
gods, and Lord of lords, a great
God, a mighty, and a terrible,
which regardeth not persons, nor
taketh reward: He doth execute the
judgment of the fatherless and
widow, and loveth the stranger, in
giving him food and raiment.
(Deuteronomy 10:17,18)
A father of the fatherless, and a
judge of the widows, is God in his
holy habitation.
(Psalm 68:5)
They slay the widow and
the stranger, and murder the
fatherless.
(Psalm 94:6)
The
LORD
preserveth
the
strangers;
he
relieveth
the
fatherless
and
widow:
but
the
way of
the
wicked
he
turneth
upside
down.
(Psalm 146:9)
The LORD will destroy the house of
the proud: but he will establish
the border of the widow.
(Proverbs 15:25)
Learn to do well; seek judgment,
relieve the oppressed, judge the
fatherless, plead for the widow.
(Isaiah 1:17)
Leave thy fatherless children, I
will preserve them alive; and let
thy widows trust in me.
(Jeremiah 49:11)
And I will come near to you to
judgment; and I will be a swift
witness against the sorcerers, and
against the adulterers, and
against false swearers, and
against those that oppress the
hireling in his wages, the widow,
and the fatherless, and that turn
aside the stranger from his right,
and fear not me, saith the LORD of
hosts.
(Malachi 3:5)
Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
devour widows' houses, and for a
pretence make long prayer:
therefore ye shall receive the
greater damnation.
(Matthew 23:14)
And in those days, when the number
of the disciples was multiplied,
there arose a murmuring of the
Grecians against the Hebrews,
because their widows were
neglected in the daily
ministration.
(Acts 6:1)
But if any widow have children or
nephews, let them learn first to
shew piety at home, and to requite
their parents: for that is good
and acceptable before God. Now she
that is a widow indeed, and
desolate, trusteth in God, and
continueth in supplications and
prayers night and day. But she
that liveth in pleasure is dead
while she liveth.
(1 Timothy 5:4-6)
