Bible verse
My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword; then your wives will become widows and your children will be fatherless.
Exodus 22:24 · BSB
The verses around it, from Exodus 22.
20 If anyone sacrifices to any god other than the LORD alone, he must be set apart for destruction.
21 You must not exploit or oppress a foreign resident, for you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
22 You must not mistreat any widow or orphan.
23 If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to Me in distress, I will surely hear their cry.
24 My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword; then your wives will become widows and your children will be fatherless.
25 If you lend money to one of My people among you who is poor, you must not act as a creditor to him; you are not to charge him interest.
26 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset,
27 because his cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? And if he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
28 You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.
