Exodus 22:23-31 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

23. If you indeed afflict him, yes, if he cries out at all to me, I will certainly hear his cry of distress.

24. And I will become angry, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives will be widows and your children orphans.

25. “ ‘If you lend money to my people, to the needy with you, you will not be to him as a creditor; you will not charge him interest.

26. If indeed you require the cloak of your neighbor as a pledge, you will return it to him at sundown,

27. because it is his only garment; it is his cloak for his skin. In what will he sleep? And when he cries out to me, I will hear, because I am gracious.

28. “ ‘You will not curse God, and you will not curse a leader among your people.

29. “ ‘You will not delay the fullness of your harvest and the juice from your press; you will give me the firstborn of your sons.

30. You will do likewise for your ox and for your sheep and goats; seven days it will be with its mother; on the eighth, you will give it to me.

31. And you will be men of holiness for me; and you will not eat meat from a carcass mangled in the field; you will throw it to the dog.
