Exodus 22:20-25
20If anyone sacrificesH2076 to any godH430 other thanH1115 the LORDH3068 aloneH905, he must be set apart for destructionH2763.1
21You must notH3808 exploitH3238 orH3808 oppressH3905 a foreign residentH1616, forH3588 you yourselves wereH1961 foreignersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
22You must notH3808 mistreatH6031 anyH3605 widowH490 or orphanH3490. 23IfH518 you do mistreat themH6031, and they cry outH6817 to MeH413 in distressH6817, I will surely hearH8085 their cryH6818. 24My angerH639 will be kindledH2734, and I will killH2026 youH853 with the swordH2719; then your wivesH802 will becomeH1961 widowsH490 and your childrenH1121 will be fatherlessH3490.
25IfH518 you lendH3867 moneyH3701 to one of My peopleH5971 among youH5973 who is poorH6041, you must notH3808 actH1961 as a creditorH5383 to him; you are not to chargeH7760H3808 himH5921 interestH5392.
