"To turn asideª° the needyª from judgment,ª¹ and to take awayª° the rightª from the poorª of my people,ª that widowsª may be¹ their prey,ª and [that] they may robª° the fatherless!ª" {Isa 10:2} + "Every one¹ that is foundª° shall be thrust through;ª° and every one¹ that is joinedª° [unto them] shall fallª° by the sword.ª ... [Their] bowsª also shall dashª° the young menª to pieces;²° and they shall have no¹ pityª° on the fruitª of the womb;ª their eyeª shall not¹ spareª°¹ children.ª" {Isa 13:15-18} + "[If] ye oppressª° not¹ the stranger,ª the fatherless,ª and the widow,ª and shedª° not¹ innocentª bloodª in this¹ place,ª neither¹ walk²°¹ afterª otherª godsª to your hurt:ª" {Jer 7:6} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Executeª° ye judgmentª and righteousness,ª and deliverª° the spoiledª° out of the handª¹ of the oppressor:ª and do no¹ wrong,ª° do no¹ violenceª° to the stranger,ª the fatherless,ª nor the widow,ª neither¹ shedª° innocentª bloodª in this¹ place.ª" {Jer 22:3} + "In thee have they set lightª° by fatherª and mother:ª in the midstª of thee have they dealtª° by oppressionª with the stranger:ª in thee have they vexedª° the fatherlessª and the widow.ª" {Ezk 22:7} + "And I will come nearª° to¹ you to judgment;ª and I will be¹ a swiftª° witnessª against the sorcerers,ª° and against the adulterers,ª° and against falseª swearers,ª° and against those that oppressª° the hirelingª in [his] wages,ª the widow,ª and the fatherless,ª and that turn asideª° the strangerª [from his right], and fearª° not¹ me, saithª° the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Mal 3:5} |
