Jeremiah 49:11

⁵A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

³Assyria can’t save us. We won’t ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘Our gods!’ for in you the fatherless finds mercy.”

²⁷Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

⁵Now she who is a widow indeed and desolate, has her hope set on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.

⁹The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

¹¹Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also many animals?”

⁵I will come near to you to judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don’t fear me,” says the LORD of Armies.

³“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

¹⁸He executes justice for the fatherless and widow and loves the foreigner in giving him food and clothing.

¹⁰Don’t move the ancient boundary stone. Don’t encroach on the fields of the fatherless, ¹¹for their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.
