They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? Was not my soul grieved for the poor?
or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
(for from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
so that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the Lord.
he doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
