20. “Whoever sacrifices to any god except the Lord must be condemned and destroyed.

21. “Never mistreat or oppress foreigners, because you were foreigners living in Egypt.

22. “Never take advantage of any widow or orphan.

23. If you do and they cry out to me, you can be sure that I will hear their cry.

24. I will become angry and have you killed in combat. Then your wives and children will become widows and orphans.

25. “If you lend money to my people—to any poor person among you—never act like a moneylender. Charge no interest.

26. If you take any of your neighbor’s clothes as collateral, give it back to him by sunset.

27. It may be the only clothes he has to cover his body. What else will he sleep in? When he cries out to me, I will listen because I am compassionate.

28. “Never show disrespect for God or curse a leader of your people.

29. “Never withhold your best wine from me.“You must give me your firstborn son.

30. You must do the same with your cattle and your sheep. They will stay with their mothers seven days, but on the eighth day you must give them to me.
