Exodus 22:21-27

New King James Version

^21 (A)“You shall neither mistreat a ^[a]stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

^22 (B)“You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. ²³ If you afflict them in any way, and they ^(C)cry at all to Me, I will surely ^(D)hear their cry; ²⁴ and My ^(E)wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; ^(F)your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

^25 (G)“If you lend money to any of My people who are poor among you, you shall not be like a moneylender to him; you shall not charge him ^(H)interest. ^26 (I)If you ever take your neighbor’s garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down. ²⁷ For that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What will he sleep in? And it will be that when he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am ^(J)gracious.
