Fatherlessness

If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

A father of the fatherless and a defender of widows is God in His holy habitation.

God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and He loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing.
