Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

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

And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb. {provoked: Heb. angered}

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

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

And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb. {provoked: Heb. angered}

Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just {men}, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked {men}, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also {is} vanity.
