Exodus 22:26-28

Living Bible

²⁶ If you take his clothing as a pledge of his repayment, you must let him have it back at night. ²⁷ For it is probably his only warmth; how can he sleep without it? If you don’t return it, and he cries to me for help, I will hear and be very gracious to him at your expense,^[a] for I am very compassionate.

²⁸ “You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse government officials—your judges and your rulers.
