(Some words not found in UHB: orphans become and,without father mothers_of,our [are]_like,widows )
The point of this comparison is that just as widows are without husbands to care for them, so are our mothers without anyone to support them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [our mothers have no one to support them]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
