orphans from their mothers' breast
Here "breast" refers to the mother. This implies that these orphans are still very young. This can be made explicit. Alternate translation: "young orphans out of their mothers' arms" or "fatherless infants from their mothers" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
orphans
This generally refers to children without parents. Here, however, it is used for children who have mothers but do not have fathers.
take children as security from poor people
"take poor people's children to guarantee that the poor people will pay back money that they borrowed from the wicked people"
as security
A lender would take something from a borrower to ensure that the borrower pays him back. See how you translated this in Job 24:3.
