Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

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

If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
