Deuteronomy 23:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 ¶ Thou shalt neither bring the [a]hire of a whore, nor the price of a dog into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
19 ¶ (A)Thou shalt not give to usury to thy brother: as usury of money, usury of meat, usury of anything that is put to usury.
20 Unto a [b]stranger thou mayest lend upon usury, but thou shalt not lend upon usury unto thy brother, that the Lord thy God may [c]bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to, in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
