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.

Exodus 22:21-27
Authorized (King James) Version
21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 23 If thou afflict them in any wise, 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 that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. 26 If thou at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down: 27 for that is his covering only, it is his raiment 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.
