Exodus 22:22-27

22 “Do not take advantage of a widow or an orphan.

23 If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry.

24 My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless.

25 “If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not be like a moneylender; charge him no interest.

26 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as a pledge, return it to him by sunset,

27 because his cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? When he cries out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
