Exodus 22:21-27

English Standard Version

^21 (A)“You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. ^22 (B)You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child. ²³ If you do mistreat them, and they ^(C)cry out to me, I will surely ^(D)hear their cry, ²⁴ and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and ^(E)your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.

^25 (F)“If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be like a moneylender to him, and you shall not exact interest from him. ^26 (G)If ever you take your neighbor's cloak in pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down, ²⁷ for that is his only covering, and it is his cloak for his body; in what else shall he sleep? And if he ^(H)cries to me, I will hear, for I am ^(I)compassionate.
