Exodus 22:22-27

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.

26IfH518 you take your neighbor’sH7453 cloakH8008 as collateralH2254, return itH7725 to him byH5704 sunsetH935H8121, 27becauseH3588 his cloak is the onlyH905 coveringH3682 he hasH1931 for his bodyH5785. What elseH4100 will he sleep inH7901H1961? And ifH3588 he cries outH6817 to MeH413, I will hearH8085, forH3588 IH589 am compassionateH2587.
