{35:16} The Lord will not accept favoritism against the poor, but he will heed the prayer of one who has been harmed.
{35:17} He will not despise the prayers of the orphan, nor of the widow, if she utters a lamenting complaint.
{35:18} Do a widow’s tears not run down her cheek? And will her outcry not cause their downfall?
{35:19} For from her cheek, her tears ascend even to heaven. And the Lord, the One who listens, will not take delight in them.
{35:20} Whoever adores God with joy will be accepted, and his prayer will reach even to the clouds.
