Exodus 22:17-27 Modern English Version (MEV)

17. If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

18. You must not allow a sorceress to live.

19. Whoever has relations with a beast must surely be put to death.

20. He who sacrifices to any god other than the Lord alone shall be utterly destroyed.

21. You must neither wrong a foreigner nor oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

22. You shall not afflict any widow or orphan.

23. If you afflict them in any way and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry.

24. And My anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives will become widows, and your children fatherless.

25. If you lend money to any of My people who is poor among you, do not be a creditor to him, and do not charge him interest.

26. If you take your neighbor’s garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down,

27. for that is his only covering; it is his garment for his body. In what else will he sleep? And when he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am gracious.
