The King James Version Bible

2 Esdras 2:20-26

  1. Do right to the widow, judge for the fatherless, give to the poor, defend the orphan, clothe the naked,

  2. Heal the broken and the weak, laugh not a lame man to scorn, defend the maimed, and let the blind man come into the sight of my clearness.

  3. Keep the old and young within thy walls.

  4. Wheresoever thou findest the dead, take them and bury them, and I will give thee the first place in my resurrection.

  5. Abide still, O my people, and take thy rest, for thy quietness still come.

  6. Nourish thy children, O thou good nurse; stablish their feet.

  7. As for the servants whom I have given thee, there shall not one of them perish; for I will require them from among thy number.
