Learn to do good; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 1:17 Go To Isaiah 1
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
God offers a brief summary through the prophet Isaiah of the honor that widows enjoy in the sight of God.… The Father defends these two types of people [widows and orphans] through divine mercy in proportion to their being destitute of human aid. Look how the widow’s benefactor is put on a level with the widow herself, whose champion shall “reason with the Lord.”
