Deuteronomy 23:17-25
17NoH3808 daughterH1323 orH3808 sonH1121 of IsraelH3478 is to beH1961H6948 a shrine prostituteH6945. 18You must notH3808 bringH935 the wagesH868 of a prostitute, whether femaleH2181 or maleH3611,1 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 to fulfill anyH3605 vowH5088, becauseH3588 bothH8147 are detestableH8441 to the LORDH3068 your GodH430H1571.
19Do notH3808 chargeH5391 your brotherH251 interestH5392 on moneyH3701H5392, foodH400H5392, or anyH3605 otherH1697 type of loanH5391. 20You may charge a foreignerH5237 interestH5391, but notH3808 your brotherH251, so thatH4616 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 may bless youH1288 in everythingH3605 to which you putH4916 your handH3027 inH5921 the landH776 thatH834 youH859 are enteringH935H8033 to possessH3423.
21IfH3588 you makeH5087 a vowH5088 to the LORDH3068 your GodH430, do notH3808 be slow to keep itH309H7999, becauseH3588 HeH3068H430 will surely require itH1875 of youH5973, and you will beH1961 guilty of sinH2399. 22But ifH3588 you refrainH2308 from making a vowH5087, you will notH3808 beH1961 guilty of sinH2399. 23Be carefulH8104 to follow throughH6213 on what comesH4161 from your lipsH8193, becauseH834 you have freelyH5071 vowedH5087 to the LORDH3068 your GodH430 with your own mouthH1696H6310.
24WhenH3588 you enterH935 your neighbor’sH7453 vineyardH3754, you may eatH398 yourH5315 fill ofH7648 grapesH6025, but you must notH3808 putH5414 any inH413 your basketH3627.
25WhenH3588 you enterH935 your neighbor’sH7453 grainfieldH7054, you may pluckH6998 the heads of grainH4425 with your handH3027, but you must notH3808 putH5130 a sickleH2770 toH5921 your neighbor’sH7453 grainH7054.
