Exodus 22:21-27

21“1You shall not wrongH3238 a strangerH1616 or oppressH3905 him, for you were strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 22 2You shall not afflictH6031 anyH3605 widowH490 or orphanH3490. 23IfH518 you afflictH6031 him at allH6031, and 3ifH518 he does cryH6817 out to Me, 4I will surelyH8085 hearH8085 his cryH6818; 24and My angerH639 will be kindledH2734, and I will killH2026 you with the swordH2719, 5and your wivesH802 shall becomeH1961 widowsH490 and your childrenH1121 fatherlessH3490.

25“6IfH518 you lendH3867 moneyH3701 to My peopleH5971, to the poorH6041 7amongH5973 you, you are not to 8actH1961 as a creditorH5383 to him; you shall not 9chargeH7760 H5921 him 10interestH5392. 26IfH518 you everH2254 takeH2254 your neighbor’sH7453 cloakH8008 11as a pledgeH2254, you are to returnH7725 it to him beforeH5704 the sunH8121 setsH935, 27for that is his onlyH905 coveringH3682; it is his cloakH8071 for his 12bodyH5785. WhatH4100 else shall he sleepH7901 in? And it shall comeH1961 about that 13whenH3588 he criesH6817 out to Me, I will hearH8085 him, for 14I am graciousH2587.
