Context of Exodus 22:24
22Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 23If thou shalt afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry; And my wrath shall burn, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. 25If thou shalt lend money to any of my people that is poor among you, thou shalt not be to him as a money-lender, neither shalt thou charge him interest. 26If thou shalt at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it to him by the setting of the sun.
