If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.īecause I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, and you dig a pit for your friend. When you have made an end of tithing all the tithes of your increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled Ĭursed be he that perverts the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. You shall not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless nor take a widow's raiment to pledge: He does execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loves the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.Īt the end of three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase the same year, and shall lay it up within your gates:Īnd you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite that is within your gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD your God has chosen to place his name there. You shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
