In His holy dwelling God is a father to the fatherless, and a judge for the widows.

He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, to give him food and clothing.

Therefore love the sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

You shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the sojourner and the fatherless and the widow who are among you, at the place where Jehovah your God chooses to establish His name.

Jehovah will destroy the house of the proud, but He will establish the territory of the widow.

Leave your orphans; I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in Me.

Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride on horses. We shall not say any more to the work of our hands, You are our gods! For in You the fatherless finds mercy.

And I will come near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against those swearing to a lie; and against those who defraud the hired laborer of his pay, and turn away the widow, and the fatherless, and the alien; and who do not fear Me, says Jehovah of Hosts.

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

with the pure You will show Yourself pure; and with the crooked You will show Yourself twisted.

O my God, make them like the whirling dust, like the chaff before the wind!

so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.

Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever; yea, let them be abashed and perish,

Jehovah preserves all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy.

Jehovah lifts up the lowly; He casts the wicked down to the ground.

And someone reported to David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I pray, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!

And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not carried out, he saddled a donkey, and arose and went home to his house, to his city, put his house in order, and hanged himself, and died; and he was buried in his father's tomb.

Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, Let a gallows be made, fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go joyfully with the king to the banquet. And these words were good to Haman; so he had the gallows made.

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath was pacified.

but when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letter that this evil plot which Haman had devised against the Jews should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

The way of the wicked is as darkness; they do not know at what they stumble.

He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot bring about their success;

They meet with darkness by day, and grope at midday as in the night.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He catches the wise in their own craftiness;
