²¹ “Do not ·cheat [wrong; maltreat] or ·hurt [oppress] a ·foreigner [sojourner; resident alien], because you were ·foreigners [sojourners; resident aliens] in the land of Egypt.

²² “Do not ·cheat [abuse; ^Lafflict] a widow or an orphan. ²³ If you ·do [cheat; abuse; ^Lafflict], and they cry out to me for help, I certainly will ·hear [or act on] their cry. ²⁴ And I will be very angry and kill you ·in war [^Lwith the sword]. Then your wives will become widows, and your children will become orphans.

²⁵ “If you lend money to one of my people who is poor, do not treat him as a ·moneylender [creditor] would. ·Charge him nothing for using your money [^LTake no interest; Lev. 25:36–37; Deut. 23:19; Ps. 15:5]. ²⁶ If your neighbor gives you his coat as ·a promise for the money he owes you [collateral], you must give it back to him by sunset, ²⁷ because his coat is the only cover to keep his body warm. He has nothing else to sleep in. If he cries out to me for help, I will ·hear [or act], because I am ·merciful [gracious; compassionate].
