New Testament

Exodus 22:24-31 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.

28. You shall not curse God or curse the ruler of your people.

29. You must not delay to offer the first of your harvest and of your vats.You must give to Me the firstborn of your sons.

30. Likewise you must do the same with your oxen and with your sheep. Seven days it shall remain with its mother, but on the eighth day you must give it to Me.

31. You will be holy men to Me; therefore you must not eat any flesh that is torn by beasts in the field. You must throw it to the dogs.
