A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling, God sets the lonely in families. Psalm 68:5–6a
Religion that God our Father accepts as true and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep one’s self from being polluted by the world. James 1:27
Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If you say to him, “Go, I wish you well. Keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing for his physical needs, what good is it? James 2:15–16
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly, defend the rights of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:8–9
