⁵ “Suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right: ⁶ He does not eat at the mountain shrines^[a](A) or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife^(B) or approach a woman during her menstrual impurity.^{(C) 7} He doesn’t oppress anyone^(D) but returns his collateral to the debtor.^(E) He does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry^(F) and covers the naked with clothing. ⁸ He doesn’t lend at interest or for profit^(G) but keeps his hand from injustice and carries out true justice between men.^{(H) 9} He follows my statutes and keeps my ordinances, acting faithfully. Such a person is righteous; he will certainly live.”^(I) This is the declaration of the Lord God.
