uses force to take away the justice due to a foreigner ... widow
Moses speaks of justice as if it were a physical object that a stronger person can violently pull away from a weaker person. Your language might have one word that means "use force to take away." See how you translated these words in Deuteronomy 24:17. Alternate translation: "treats a foreigner ... widow unfairly" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
fatherless
These are children whose parents have both died and do not have relatives to care for them.
