| Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 6 No one is to take, on account of a debt, the stones with which grain is crushed: for in doing so he takes a man's living. | 6 Do not take a pair of millstones--not even the upper one--as security for a debt, because that would be taking a man's livelihood as security. |
