In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow. {oppression: or, deceit}

They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.

He evil entreateth the barren {that} beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.

To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and {that} they may rob the fatherless!

If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil {man}: seek out his wickedness {till} thou find none.

They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

Cursed {be} he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.

If I have withheld the poor from {their} desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and {him that had} none to help him.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I {am} against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

Thy princes {are} rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. {relieve: or, righten}

And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

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. {oppress: or, defraud}

And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

He evil entreateth the barren {that} beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.

The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: {landmark: or, bound}

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig {a pit} for your friend. {ye overwhelm: Heb. ye cause to fall upon}

The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.

Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD. {exactions: Heb. expulsions}

Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
