(1.) Women and Children First! Why?

(1.) Women and Children First? Why?

“Enough! You’re here to defend the defenseless, to give justice to the weak and fatherless, to maintain the rights of the oppressed and the needy. Your job is to rescue the powerless and stand up for them, to deliver them from all who exploit them!” (Psalm 82:2-4).

 

“If you remain indifferent in time of adversity, your strength will depart from you. Rescue those who are being dragged to death, and from those staggering to slaughter withdraw not.” (Proverbs 24:10-11).

 

“This what the Lord Almighty says, ‘You must see that true justice is done, that everyone is treated fairly, and you need to show lovingkindness and compassion to everyone. Do not oppress or take advantage of the widow, and do not mistreat children who have no father. Do not crush the stranger and do not oppress the disadvantaged poor. And do not plot evil in your heart against your neighbor.” (Zechariah 7:9-10).
