²¹ He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.

¹³ The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

¹⁶ If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

¹⁷ Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

¹⁸ (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)

³ They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.

⁹ Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
