Job 29:16

The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

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

And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;

And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
