What does the Bible say about being an orphan?

In John 14:18, Jesus assures His followers, saying, 'I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.' This promise counters the spiritual orphanage that results from the fall of Adam, where humanity loses fellowship with God and becomes spiritually fatherless. Ezekiel 16 depicts this dire condition, illustrating how God intervenes in love and grace to redeem those who are lost and abandoned. God’s covenant with His people signifies His commitment to care for them, lifting them from their state of need and giving them a place in His family.
