In you they have received gifts to shed blood; they have received in you interest and usurious increase; and by oppression you have brought your wickedness to the full, and have forgotten Me, says the Lord.

And if you should lend money to your poor brother who is among you, you shall not be hard upon him- you shall not charge interest from him.

You shall not lend your money to him at interest, and you shall not lend your meat to him to be returned with increase.

You shall not lend to your brother on usury of silver, or usury of meat, or usury of anything which you may lend out.

You shall not act unrighteously in judgment, in measures and weights and scales.

And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the cases] between your brothers, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him.
