What does the Bible say about mercy for the fatherless?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes God's mercy towards the fatherless, highlighting that they are destitute and in need of help, and assures that they will find mercy when they return to the Lord.

The theme of mercy for the fatherless is a significant aspect of God's character as portrayed throughout Scripture, especially in the book of Hosea. In Hosea 14, the fatherless represent those who are spiritually destitute, unable to help themselves. As James 1:27 states, true religion involves caring for the widow and fatherless, showcasing God's concern for those who are vulnerable. The message is clear: even in our helplessness, God extends His mercy and calls us to return to Him.
