Exodus 22:21-27
Legacy Standard Bible
21 “(A)You shall not mistreat a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 22 (B)You shall not afflict any widow or orphan. 23 And if you indeed afflict him, and (C)if he earnestly cries out to Me, (D)I will surely hear his cry; 24 and My anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, (E)and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.
25 “(F)If you lend money to My people, to the afflicted [a]among you, you are not to [b]act as a creditor to him; you shall not [c]charge him (G)interest. 26 If you ever take your neighbor’s cloak (H)as a pledge, you shall 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 shall he sleep in? And it shall be that (I)when he cries out to Me, I will hear him, for (J)I am gracious.

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.
