19 Thou shalt not lend upon usury [05391] to thy brother [0251]; usury [05392] of money [03701], usury [05392] of victuals [0400], usury [05392] of any thing [01697] that is lent upon usury [05391]:
35 And if thy brother [0251] be waxen poor [04134], and fallen in decay [04131] with thee [03027]; then thou shalt relieve [02388] him: yea, though he be a stranger [01616], or a sojourner [08453]; that he may live [02416] with thee.
36 Take [03947] thou no usury [05392] of him, or increase [08636]: but fear [03372] thy God [0430]; that thy brother [0251] may live [02416] with thee.
37 Thou shalt not give [05414] him thy money [03701] upon usury [05392], nor lend [05414] him thy victuals [0400] for increase [04768].
38 I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which brought you forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], to give [05414] you the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and to be your God [0430].
39 And if thy brother [0251] that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor [04134], and be sold [04376] unto thee; thou shalt not compel [05647] him to serve [05656] as a bondservant [05650]:
40 But as an hired servant [07916], and as a sojourner [08453], he shall be with thee, and shall serve [05647] thee unto the year [08141] of jubile [03104]:
41 And then shall he depart [03318] from thee, both he and his children [01121] with him, and shall return [07725] unto his own family [04940], and unto the possession [0272] of his fathers [01] shall he return [07725].
42 For they are my servants [05650], which I brought forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: they shall not be sold [04376] as [04466] bondmen [05650].
43 Thou shalt not rule [07287] over him with rigour [06531]; but shalt fear [03372] thy God [0430].
21 Thou shalt neither vex [03238] a stranger [01616], nor oppress [03905] him: for ye were strangers [01616] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
22 Ye shall not afflict [06031] any widow [0490], or fatherless child [03490].
23 If [0518] thou afflict [06031] them in any wise [06031], and they cry [06817] at all [06817] unto me, I will surely [08085] hear [08085] their cry [06818];
24 And my wrath [0639] shall wax hot [02734], and I will kill [02026] you with the sword [02719]; and your wives [0802] shall be widows [0490], and your children [01121] fatherless [03490].
25 If thou lend [03867] money [03701] to any of my people [05971] that is poor [06041] by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer [05383], neither shalt thou lay [07760] upon him usury [05392].
26 If thou at all [02254] take [02254] thy neighbour's [07453] raiment [08008] to pledge [02254], thou shalt deliver [07725] it unto him by [05704] that the sun [08121] goeth down [0935]:
27 For that is his covering [03682] only, it is his raiment [08071] for his skin [05785]: wherein shall he sleep [07901]? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth [06817] unto me, that I will hear [08085]; for I am gracious [02587].
28 Thou shalt not revile [07043] the gods [0430], nor curse [0779] the ruler [05387] of thy people [05971].
10 When thou dost lend [05383] thy brother [07453] any [03972] thing [04859], thou shalt not go [0935] into his house [01004] to fetch [05670] his pledge [05667].
11 Thou shalt stand [05975] abroad [02351], and the man [0376] to whom thou dost lend [05383] shall bring out [03318] the pledge [05667] abroad [02351] unto thee.
12 And if the man [0376] be poor [06041], thou shalt not sleep [07901] with his pledge [05667]:
13 In any case [07725] thou shalt deliver [07725] him the pledge [05667] again [07725] when the sun [08121] goeth down [0935], that he may sleep [07901] in his own raiment [08008], and bless [01288] thee: and it shall be righteousness [06666] unto thee before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430].
6 No man shall take [02254] the nether [07347] or the upper millstone [07393] to pledge [02254]: for he taketh [02254] a man's life [05315] to pledge [02254].
14 And [1161] the Pharisees [5330] also [2532], who were [5225] covetous [5366], heard [191] all [3956] these things [5023]: and [2532] they derided [1592] him [846].
12 And if it be stolen [01589] [01589] from him, he shall make restitution [07999] unto the owner [01167] thereof.
17 That hath taken off [07725] his hand [03027] from the poor [06041], that hath not received [03947] usury [05392] nor increase [08636], hath executed [06213] my judgments [04941], hath walked [01980] in my statutes [02708]; he shall not die [04191] for the iniquity [05771] of his father [01], he shall surely [02421] live [02421].
13 Hath given forth [05414] upon usury [05392], and hath taken [03947] increase [08636]: shall he then live [02425]? he shall not live [02421]: he hath done [06213] all these abominations [08441]; he shall surely [04191] die [04191]; his blood [01818] shall be upon him.
8 He that hath not given forth [05414] upon usury [05392], neither hath taken [03947] any increase [08636], that hath withdrawn [07725] his hand [03027] from iniquity [05766], hath executed [06213] true [0571] judgment [04941] between man [0376] and man [0376],
8 He that by usury [05392] and unjust gain [08636] increaseth [07235] his substance [01952], he shall gather [06908] it for him that will pity [02603] the poor [01800].
37 Thou shalt not give [05414] him thy money [03701] upon usury [05392], nor lend [05414] him thy victuals [0400] for increase [04768].
36 Take [03947] thou no usury [05392] of him, or increase [08636]: but fear [03372] thy God [0430]; that thy brother [0251] may live [02416] with thee.
