GOD'S WORD Translation GW

26 If you take any of your neighbor's clothes as collateral, give it back to him by sunset.

27 It may be the only clothes he has to cover his body. What else will he sleep in? When he cries out to me, I will listen because I am compassionate.

28 "Never show disrespect for God or curse a leader of your people.

29 "Never withhold your best wine from me. "You must give me your firstborn son.

30 You must do the same with your cattle and your sheep. They will stay with their mothers seven days, but on the eighth day you must give them to me.

31 "You must be my holy people. Never eat the meat of an animal that has been killed by wild animals out in the countryside. Throw it to the dogs."
