³ Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

¹⁸ To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress -- man of the earth!

¹⁶ He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then `it is' well -- is it not to know Me? An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹⁷ `Thou dost not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take in pledge the garment of a widow;

³ Thus said Jehovah: Do ye judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, ye do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood ye do not shed in this place.

¹⁸ He is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and loving the sojourner, to give to him bread and raiment.

¹⁷ Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive `for' the widow.

²³ Thy princes `are' apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them.

²⁸ They have been fat, they have shone, Yea, they have overpassed the acts of the evil, Judgment they have not judged, The judgment of the fatherless -- and they prosper, And the judgment of the needy they have not judged.

²⁷ religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation -- unspotted to keep himself from the world.
