Exodus 22 — Context

22

“You must not afflict any widow or orphan.

23

If you afflict them in any way and they cry 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 be widows and your children will be fatherless.

25

“If you lend money to any of my people who are needy among you, do not be like a moneylender to him; do not charge him interest.

26

If you do take the garment of your neighbor in pledge, you must return it to him by the time the sun goes down,

27

for it is his only covering– it is his garment for his body. What else can he sleep in? And when he cries out to me, I will hear, for I am gracious.

28

“You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.
