Exodus 22:20-28 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

20. “Destroy completely any person who makes a sacrifice to any god except the Lord.

21. “Do not cheat or hurt a foreigner. Remember that you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

22. “Do not cheat a widow or an orphan.

23. If you do, they will cry out to me for help. I certainly will hear their cry.

24. And I will be very angry and kill you in war. Then your wives will become widows, and your children will become orphans.

25. “You might lend money to one of my people who is poor. Then do not treat him as a moneylender would. Charge him nothing for using your money.

26. Your neighbor might give you his coat as a promise. He is promising to pay you the money he owes you. But you must give it back to him by sunset.

27. That coat is the only cover to keep his body warm. He has nothing else to sleep in. If he cries out to me for help, I will listen because I am merciful.

28. “You must not speak against God. You must not curse a leader of your people.
