4 I traueilide criynge, my cheekis weren maad hoose; myn iyen failiden, the while Y hope in to my God.
5 Thei that hatiden me with out cause; weren multiplied aboue the heeris of myn heed. Myn enemyes that pursueden me vniustli weren coumfortid; Y paiede thanne tho thingis, whiche Y rauischide not.
9 and opene thi mouth for the causes of alle sones that passen forth. Deme thou that that is iust, and deme thou a nedi man and a pore man.
9 Deme ye trewe dom, and do ye merci, and doyngis of merci, ech man with his brother.
10 And nyle ye falsli calenge a widewe, and fadirles, ether modirles, and comelyng, and pore man; and a man thenke not in his herte yuel to his brother.
17 Seke ye doom, helpe ye hym that is oppressid, deme ye to the fadirles and modirles child, defende ye a widewe.
12 for Y hadde delyueride a pore man criynge, and a fadirles child, that hadde noon helpere.
13 The blessyng of a man to perische cam on me, and Y coumfortide the herte of a widewe.
22 Ye schulen not anoye a widewe, and a fadirles ethir modirles child.
23 If ye hirten hem, thei schulen crye to me, and Y schal here the cry of hem,
24 and my greet veniaunce schal haue indignacioun, and Y schal smyte you with swerd, and youre wyues schulen be widewis, and youre sones schulen be fadirles.
27 A clene religioun, and an vnwemmed anentis God and the fadir, is this, to visite fadirles and modirles children, and widewis in her tribulacioun, and to kepe hym silf vndefoulid fro this world.
3 Honoure thou widewis, that ben very widewis.
9 Which yyueth mete to her werk beestis; and to the briddys of crowis clepinge hym.
