-
Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
-
For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
-
With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
-
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
-
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
-
Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
-
They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
-
They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
-
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
-
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
-
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
-
Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
-
(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
-
If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
-
Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
-
And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
