Exodus 22 — Context

22

Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

23

If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

24

And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25

If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

26

If thou at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:

27

For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.

28

Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
