22 “YOU people must not afflict any widow or fatherless boy.+

28 They have grown fat;+ they have become shiny. They have also overflowed with bad things.* No legal case have they pleaded,+ even the legal case of the fatherless boy,+ that they may gain success;+ and the judgment of the poor ones they have not taken up.’”

5 “And I will come near to YOU people for the judgment,+ and I will become a speedy witness+ against the sorcerers,+ and against the adulterers,*+ and against those swearing falsely,+ and against those acting fraudulently with the wages of a wage worker,+ with [the] widow+ and with [the] fatherless boy,+ and those turning away the alien resident,+ while they have not feared me,”+ Jehovah of armies has said.

3 But there was a widow in that city and she kept going+ to him, saying, ‘See that I get justice from my adversary at law.’
