Hypertext Webster Gateway: "Orphans"
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary (easton)
Orphans
(Lam. 5:3), i.e., desolate and without protectors. The word
occurs only here. In John 14:18 the word there rendered
"comfortless" (R.V., "desolate;" marg., "orphans") properly
means "orphans." The same Greek word is rendered "fatherless" in
James 1:27.
