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.
