executing judgment for the stranger and orphan and widow, and He loves the stranger, to give him food and clothing.

learn to do well; diligently seek judgment, deliver him that is suffering wrong, plead for the orphan, and obtain justice for the widow.

Your princes are rebellious, companions of thieves, loving bribes, seeking after rewards; not pleading for orphans, and not heeding the cause of widows.

They have transgressed [the rule of] judgment; they have not judged the cause of the orphan, nor have they judged the cause of the widow.

Thus says the Lord: Execute judgment and justice, and rescue the spoiled out of the hand of him that wrongs him; and oppress not the stranger, the orphan, or widow, and sin not, and shed no innocent blood in this place.

They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor- is not this your not knowing Me? Says the Lord.

Pure and undefiled religion before God and [the] Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
