22 (A)You shall not oppress any widow or orphan. 23 If you oppress him at all, and (B)if he does cry out to Me, (C)I will assuredly hear his cry; 24 and My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword, (D)and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.

25 (E)If you lend money to My people, to the poor [a]among you, you are not to [b]act as a creditor to him; you shall not [c]charge him (F)interest. 26 If you ever seize your neighbor’s cloak (G)as a pledge, you are to return it to him before the sun sets, 27 for that is his only covering; it is his cloak for his [d]body. What else is he to sleep in? And it will come about that (H)when he cries out to Me, I will listen to him, for (I)I am gracious.
