⁸ He that augmenteth his substance by interest and increase, Gathereth it for him that hath pity on the poor.

²² A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.

³⁶ Take thou no interest of him or increase, but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.

³¹ He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he that hath mercy on the needy honoreth him.

²⁵ If thou lend money to any of my people with thee that is poor, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest.

¹⁷ that hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, that hath not received interest nor increase, hath executed mine ordinances, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.

¹³ hath given forth upon interest, 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.

⁸ he that hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true justice between man and man,

²⁶ For to the man that pleaseth him `God' giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that pleaseth God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

⁷ All the brethren of the poor do hate him: How much more do his friends go far from him! He pursueth `them with' words, `but' they are gone.

¹⁶ Though he heap up silver as the dust, And prepare raiment as the clay;

¹⁷ He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, And the innocent shall divide the silver.

⁶ and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
