Exodus 22:24 warns that God's anger will make wives widows and children fatherless — the precise condition described here.

Jeremiah 18:21 prays for enemies' children to become fatherless and widows — the same fate now suffered.

Psalm 109:9 curses enemies with fatherless children and widowed wives — the very calamity now experienced.

John 14:18 promises Jesus will not leave us as orphans — directly opposite to the orphaned state lamented here.

Hosea 14:3 declares that God shows compassion to the fatherless — a hopeful counterpoint to this orphaned cry.
