^6 (A)“You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his dispute.

Lending to the Poor

³⁵ ‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and ^[a]falls into poverty among you, then you shall ^(A)help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. ^36 (B)Take no usury or interest from him; but ^(C)fear your God, that your brother may live with you. ³⁷ You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food at a profit.

¹² And if the man is poor, you shall not ^[a]keep his pledge overnight. ^13 (A)You shall in any case return the pledge to him again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own garment and ^(B)bless you; and ^(C)it shall be righteousness to you before the Lord your God.

¹⁴ “You shall not ^(D)oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in your land within your gates.

¹⁷ But ^(A)whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
