“But the vow ^H5088 of a widow ^H490 or of a divorced ^H1644 woman, everything ^H3605 by which ^H834 she has bound ^H631 herself ^H5315, shall stand ^H6965 against ^H5921 her.

“You shall not pervert ^H5186 the justice ^H4941 [fn]due a sojourner ^H1616 or [fn]an orphan ^H3490, nor ^H3808 take ^H2254 a widow’s ^H490 garment ^H899 in ^H2254 pledge ^H2254.

“When ^H3588 you reap ^H7114 your harvest ^H7105 in your field ^H7704 and have forgotten ^H7911 a sheaf ^H6016 in the field ^H7704, you shall not go ^H7725 back ^H7725 to get ^H3947 it; it shall be for the sojourner ^H1616, for the [fn]orphan ^H3490, and for the widow ^H490, in order ^H4616 that Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 may bless ^H1288 you in all ^H3605 the work ^H4639 of your hands ^H3027.

“When ^H3588 you have finished ^H3615 [fn]paying ^H6237 all ^H3605 the tithe ^H4643 of your produce ^H8393 in the third ^H7992 year ^H8141, the year ^H8141 of tithing ^H4643, then you shall give ^H5414 it to the Levite ^H3881, to the sojourner ^H1616, to the [fn]orphan ^H3490, and to the widow ^H490, that they may eat ^H398 within your gates ^H8179 and be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646.

‘Cursed ^H779 is he who perverts ^H5186 the justice ^H4941 due a sojourner ^H1616, [fn]orphan ^H3490, and widow ^H490.’ And all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 shall say ^H559, ‘Amen ^H543.’

Now Jeroboam ^H3379 the son ^H1121 of Nebat ^H5028, an Ephraimite ^H673 of Zeredah ^H6868, Solomon’s ^H8010 servant ^H5650, whose mother’s ^H517 name ^H8034 was Zeruah ^H6871, a widow ^H490, also [fn]raised ^H7311 his hand ^H3027 against the king ^H4428.

“You have sent ^H7971 widows ^H490 away ^H7971 empty ^H7387,

And the [fn]might ^H2220 of the orphans ^H3490 has been crushed ^H1792.

“They drive ^H5090 away ^H5090 the donkeys ^H2543 of the orphans ^H3490;

They take ^H2254 the widow’s ^H490 ox ^H7794 for ^H2254 a ^H2254 pledge ^H2254.

“He feeds ^H7462 on the barren ^H6135 woman ^H6135 who does not give ^H3205 birth ^H3205

And does ^H3190 no ^H3808 good ^H3190 for the widow ^H490.

“His survivors ^H8300 will be buried ^H6912 because of the plague ^H4194,

And [fn]their widows ^H490 will not be able to weep ^H1058.

“The blessing ^H1293 of the one ready to perish ^H6 came ^H935 upon me,

And I made the widow’s ^H490 heart ^H3820 sing ^H7442 for ^H7442 joy ^H7442.

“If ^H518 I have held ^H4513 back the poor ^H1800 from ^H4513 H4480 their desire ^H2656,

Or have caused the eyes ^H5869 of the widow ^H490 to fail ^H3615,

A father ^H1 of the fatherless ^H3490 and a judge ^H1781 [fn]for the widows ^H490,

Is God ^H430 in His holy ^H6944 habitation ^H4583.

[fn]His priests ^H3548 fell ^H5307 by the sword ^H2719,

And [fn]His widows ^H490 could not weep ^H1058.

They slay ^H2026 the widow ^H490 and the sojourner ^H1616

And murder ^H7523 the orphans ^H3490.

Let his sons ^H1121 be orphans ^H3490

And his wife ^H802 a widow ^H490.

Yahweh ^H3068 keeps ^H8104 the sojourners ^H1616;

He [fn]helps ^H5749 up ^H5749 the orphan ^H3490 and the widow ^H490,

But He bends ^H5791 the way ^H1870 of the wicked ^H7563.

Yahweh ^H3068 will tear ^H5255 down ^H5255 the house ^H1004 of the proud ^H1343,

But He will cause ^H5324 the boundary ^H1366 of the widow ^H490 to ^H5324 stand ^H5324.

Learn ^H3925 to do ^H3190 good ^H3190;

Seek ^H1875 justice ^H4941,

Reprove ^H833 the ruthless ^H2541,

Execute justice ^H8199 for the [fn]orphan ^H3490,

Plead ^H7378 for the widow ^H490.

Your rulers ^H8269 are rebels ^H5637

And companions ^H2270 of thieves ^H1590;

Everyone ^H3605 loves ^H157 a bribe ^H7810

And pursues ^H7291 rewards ^H8021.

They do not execute justice ^H8199 for the [fn]orphan ^H3490,

Nor ^H3808 does the widow’s ^H490 plea ^H7379 come ^H935 before ^H413 them.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 the Lord ^H136 is not glad ^H8055 in their choice ^H970 men ^H970,

Nor ^H3808 does He have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 their [fn]orphans ^H3490 or their widows ^H490;

For every ^H3605 one ^H3605 of them is godless ^H2611 and an evildoer ^H7489,

And every ^H3605 mouth ^H6310 is speaking ^H1696 wicked ^H5039 foolishness ^H5039.

In spite of all ^H3605 this ^H2088, His anger ^H639 does not turn ^H7725 back ^H7725,

And His hand ^H3027 is still ^H5750 stretched ^H5186 out ^H5186.

So as to turn ^H5186 the poor ^H1800 away ^H5186 from their cause ^H1779

And rob ^H1497 the afflicted ^H6041 of My people ^H5971 of their justice ^H4941,

So that widows ^H490 may be their spoil ^H7998

And that they may plunder ^H962 the [fn]orphans ^H3490.

[fn]And hyenas ^H338 will howl ^H6030 in their fortified ^H759 towers ^H759

And jackals ^H8565 in their luxurious ^H6027 palaces ^H1964.

Her fateful time ^H6256 also [fn]will soon ^H7138 come ^H935

And her days ^H3117 will not be prolonged ^H4900.

“So now ^H6258, hear ^H8085 this ^H2088, you sensual ^H5719 one ^H5719,

Who sits ^H3427 securely ^H983,

Who says ^H559 in [fn]your heart ^H3824,

‘I am, and there ^H657 is ^H657 no ^H657 one ^H657 besides ^H5750 me.

I will not sit ^H3427 as a widow ^H490,

Nor ^H3808 know ^H3045 loss ^H7908 of ^H7908 children ^H7908.’

“Their widows ^H490 will be ^H6105 more ^H4480 numerous ^H6105 before Me

Than ^H4480 the sand ^H2344 of the seas ^H3220;

I will bring ^H935 against them, against ^H5921 the mother ^H517 of a choice ^H970 man ^H970,

A destroyer ^H7703 at noonday ^H6672;

I will suddenly ^H6597 bring ^H5307 down ^H5307 on her

Anguish ^H5892 and terror ^H928.

Therefore ^H3651, give ^H5414 their children ^H1121 over to famine ^H7458

And deliver ^H5064 them up to the [fn]power ^H3027 of the sword ^H2719;

And let their wives ^H802 become ^H1961 childless ^H7909 and widowed ^H490.

Let their men ^H376 also be [fn]smitten ^H2026 to death ^H4194,

Their young ^H970 men ^H970 struck ^H5221 down ^H5221 by the sword ^H2719 in battle ^H4421.

“Leave ^H5800 your [fn]orphans ^H3490 behind ^H5800, I will keep ^H2421 them alive ^H2421;

And let your widows ^H490 trust ^H982 in Me.”

Aleph

How ^H351 lonely ^H910 sits ^H3427 the city ^H5892

That was great ^H7227 with people ^H5971!

She has become ^H1961 like a widow ^H490

Who ^H7227 was once great ^H7227 among the nations ^H1471!

She who was a princess ^H8282 among the [fn]provinces ^H4082

Has become ^H1961 a forced ^H4522 laborer ^H4522!

We have become ^H1961 orphans ^H3490 without ^H369 a father ^H1;

Our mothers ^H517 are like widows ^H490.

‘He [fn]knew ^H7489 how to destroy their [fn]fortified ^H759 towers ^H759

And laid ^H2717 waste ^H2717 their cities ^H5892;

And the land ^H776 was in desolation ^H3456, as well as its fullness ^H4393

Because ^H4480 of the sound ^H6963 of his roaring ^H7581.
