New International Version

Exodus 22:20-28 New International Version (NIV)

20. “Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed.

21. “Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.

22. “Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless.

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 treat it like a business deal; charge no interest.

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

27. because that cloak is the only covering your neighbor has. What else can they sleep in? When they cry out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.

28. “Do not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.
