Children: God's Care of

You must not mistreat any widow or orphan. …

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

Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And the LORD your God will bless you in all the work of your hands.

…because I rescued the poor who cried out and the fatherless who had no helper.

But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.

…to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.

Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

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

The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.

Abandon your orphans; I will preserve their lives. Let your widows trust in Me.”

Assyria will not save us, nor will we ride on horses. We will never again say, ‘Our gods!’ to the work of our own hands. For in You the fatherless find compassion.”

“Then I will draw near to you for judgment. And I will be a swift witness against sorcerers and adulterers and perjurers, against oppressors of the widowed and fatherless, and against those who defraud laborers of their wages and deny justice to the foreigner but do not fear Me,” says the LORD of Hosts.
