21 (A)You shall not oppress a stranger nor torment him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. 22 (B)You shall not oppress any widow or orphan. 23 If you oppress him at all, and (C)if he does cry out to Me, (D)I will assuredly hear his cry; 24 and My anger will be kindled, 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 poor [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 seize your neighbor’s cloak (H)as a pledge, you are to 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 is he to sleep in? And it will come about that (I)when he cries out to Me, I will listen to him, for (J)I am gracious.

21 And a sojourner shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou oppress him: for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 23 If thou afflict them at all, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; 24 and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25 If thou lend money to any of my people with thee that is poor, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest. 26 If thou at all take thy neighbor’s garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him before the sun goeth down: 27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
