Back to passage

And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I [am] the LORD your God.

[Some] also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.

But the former governors that [had been] before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

¶ He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.

In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
