Exodus 22:18-28

18“You shall not allow a 1sorceress to live.

19“2Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death.

20“3He who sacrifices to 4any god, other than to the Lord alone, shall be 5utterly destroyed.

21“6You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. 227You shall not afflict any widow or orphan. 23If you afflict him at all, and 8if he does cry out to Me, 9I will surely hear his cry; 24and My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword, 10and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.

25“11If you lend money to My people, to the poor 12among you, you are not to 13act as a creditor to him; you shall not 14charge him 15interest. 26If you ever take your neighbor’s cloak 16as a pledge, you are to return it to him before the sun sets, 27for that is his only covering; it is his cloak for his 17body. What else shall he sleep in? And it shall come about that 18when he cries out to Me, I will hear him, for 19I am gracious.

28“You shall not 2021curse God, 22nor curse a ruler of your people.
