Exodus 22:21-31 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

21. Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.

22. Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

23. If thou afflict him in any way, if he cry at all unto me, I will certainly hear his cry;

24. and my anger shall burn, and I will slay you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25. --If thou lend money to my people, the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer: ye shall charge him no interest.

26. --If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment in pledge, thou shalt return it to him before the sun goes down;

27. for that is his only covering, his garment for his skin: on what shall he lie down? And it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.

28. Thou shalt not revile the judges, nor curse a prince amongst thy people.

29. --Thou shalt not delay the fulness of thy threshing-floor and the outflow of thy winepress. The firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

30. Likewise shalt thou do with thy calf, with thy sheep: seven days shall it be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

31. --And ye shall be holy men unto me; and ye shall not eat flesh torn in the field: ye shall cast it to the dog.
