25 “If you should lend money to my people, to the afflicted alongside you,+ you must not become like a usurer to him. YOU must not lay interest upon him.+

19 “You must not make your brother pay interest,+ interest on money, interest on food,+ interest on anything on which one may claim interest.

7 So my heart took consideration within me, and I began finding fault+ with the nobles and the deputy rulers, and went on to say to them: “Usury+ is what YOU are exacting, each one from his own brother.”

Further, I arranged a great assembly on their account.+

8 He that is multiplying his valuables by interest+ and usury collects them merely for the one showing favor to the lowly ones.+

13 On usury he has given,+ and interest he has taken,+ and he positively will not keep living. All these detestable things he has done.+ He will positively be put to death. On him his own blood will come to be.+
