(4) Rescue the weak and the needy deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”Īmo 5:11-12 Therefore because you trample on the poor and you exact taxes of grain from him, you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.

Selah (3) Give justice to the weak and the fatherless maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.

(19) Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.ĭeu 24:17 “You shall not pervert the justice due to the sojourner or to the fatherless, or take a widow’s garment in pledge, Those pastors are dead wrong and it leaves me wondering why they are so opposed to treating abuse victims as belonging to this category.Ĭonsider the language used in the Bible for widows and orphans and others:ĭeu 10:18-19 He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. Some of you have told me that your pastor (ex pastor now, I trust) rejects this suggestion of the abuse victim as widow. I maintain that the many Scriptures that tell us to care for them and that promise the Lord’s wrath upon anyone who mistreats them apply directly to victims of domestic abusers and their children. I have written before on this subject of abuse victims as widows and orphans of our day. (23) If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry, (24) and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless. Exo 22:22-24 You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child.
