Of the well handling and entreating 1of the poor, of widows, of orphans, and strangers the Lord giveth this commandment: Ye shall not afflict the widow nor the fatherless. But if ye go on to afflict them, without doubt they shall cry to me, and I will assuredly hear them, and will be angry with you, and will slay you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. To this belongeth a good part of the fifteenth Chapter of Deuteronomy.
