- a widow:
- "Cursedª° [be] he that pervertethª° the judgmentª of the stranger,ª fatherless,ª and widow.ª And all¹ the peopleª shall say,ª° Amen.ª" {Deu 27:19} + "And the kingª saidª° unto her, What¹ aileth thee? And she answered,ª° I¹ [am] indeedª a widowª woman,ª and mine husbandª is dead.ª° ... And the kingª said,ª° Let him turnª° to¹ his own house,ª and let him not¹ seeª° my face.ª So Absalomª returnedª° to¹ his own house,ª and sawª° not¹ the king'sª face.ª" {2Sm 14:5-24} + "Thou hast sent²° widows² away¹¹ empty,ª and the armsª of the fatherlessª have been broken.ª°" {Job 22:9} + "The blessingª of him that was ready to perishª° cameª° upon¹ me: and I caused the widow'sª heartª to sing for joy.ª°" {Job 29:13} + "Learnª° to do well;ª° seekª° judgment,ª relieveª° the oppressed,ª judgeª° the fatherless,ª pleadª° for the widow.ª" {Isa 1:17} + "How¹ is the faithfulª° cityª become¹ an harlot!ª° it was fullª of judgment;ª righteousnessª lodgedª° in it; but now¹ murderers.ª° ... Thy princesª [are] rebellious,ª° and companionsª of thieves:ª every one¹ lovethª° gifts,ª and followeth²° after¹ rewards:ª they judgeª° not¹ the fatherless,ª neither¹ doth the causeª of the widowª comeª° unto¹ them." {Isa 1:21-23} + "They are waxen fat,ª° they shine:ª° yea,¹ they overpassª° the deedsª of the wicked:ª they judgeª° not¹ the cause,ª the cause¹ of the fatherless,ª yet they prosper;ª° and the rightª of the needyª do they not¹ judge.ª°" {Jer 5:28}
