Contextual Overview
16 "If a man has sexual relations with a virgin who he is not engaged to, then he must pay her father the full amount necessary to marry her. 17 If the father refuses to allow his daughter to marry him, then the man must still pay the full amount for her. 18 "You must not allow any woman to do evil magic. If she does magic, you must not let her live. 19 "You must not allow anyone to have sexual relations with an animal. If this happens, that person must be killed. 20 "Whoever makes a sacrifice to a false god should be destroyed. The Lord is the only one you should make sacrifices to. 21 "Remember, in the past you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. So you should not cheat or hurt anyone who is a foreigner in your land. 22 "You must never do anything bad to women whose husbands are dead or to orphans. 23 If you do anything wrong to these widows or orphans, I will know it. I will hear about their suffering. 24 And I will be very angry. I will kill you with a sword. Then your wives will become widows, and your children will become orphans.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
If thou afflict them in any wise,..... In any way, or by any means whatever; their minds, by reproaches, censures, insults, and their bodies by stripes, false imprisonment, c. and in their substance, by withholding from them what belongs to them, taking what they have, or cheating and defrauding them in any respect or, "in afflicting afflict them" e; afflict them much, and continue to do so:
and they cry at all unto me; in prayer, as the Targum of Jonathan; or, "in crying cry" f; cry vehemently, or importunately, and with constancy, or rather, cry ever so little:
I will surely hear their cry; the voice of their prayer, as the same Targum; or, "in hearing I will hear" g; will certainly take notice of their cries, and return an answer to them, by appearing on their side, and avenging their injuries; for God is the Father of the fatherless, and the husband of the widow, and the Judge of them both: the manner of speaking or form of expression is the same in all these clauses, the words being doubled.
e ענה תענה "affligendo afflixeris", Pagninus, Piscator, Ainsworth, Montanus, Junius & Tremellius. f צעק יצעק "clamando clamaverit", Pagninus, Montanus, Piscator, Ainsworth. g שמע אשמע "audiendo audiam", Pagninus, Montanus, Piscator, Ainsworth.
