Exodus 22:21-27

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

21 "You must not exploit a foreign resident or oppress him, since you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

22 "You must not mistreat any widow or fatherless child.

23 If you do mistreat them, they will no doubt cry to Me, and I will certainly hear their cry.

24 My anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword; then your wives will be widows and your children fatherless.

25 "If you lend money to My people-to the poor person among you, you must not be like a moneylender to him; you must not charge him interest.

26 "If you ever take your neighbor's cloak as collateral, return it to him before sunset.

27 For it is his only covering; it is the clothing for his body. What will he sleep in? And if he cries out to Me, I will listen because I am compassionate.

New International Version NIV

21 “Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.

22 “Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless.

23 If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry.

24 My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless.

25 “If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest.

26 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as a pledge, return it by sunset,

27 because that cloak is the only covering your neighbor has. What else can they sleep in? When they cry out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
