^26 (A)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 ^(B)gracious.

¹¹ You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge out to you. ¹² And if the man is poor, you shall not ^[a]keep his pledge overnight. ^13 (A)You shall in any case return the pledge to him again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own garment and ^(B)bless you; and ^(C)it shall be righteousness to you before the Lord your God.
