- Ye exact usury:
- "If¹ thou lendª° moneyª to [any of]¹ my peopleª [that is]¹ poorª by¹ thee, thou shalt not¹ be¹ to him as an usurer,ª° neither¹ shalt thou layª° upon¹ him usury.ª" {Exd 22:25} + "Takeª° thou no¹ usuryª of¹¹ him, or increase:ª but fear²° thy God;ª¹¹ that thy brotherª may live²¹ with¹ thee." {Lev 25:36} + "And this¹ [is] the mannerª of the release:ª Every¹ creditorªªª that¹ lendethª° [ought] unto his neighbourª shall releaseª° [it]; he shall not¹ exactª°¹ [it] of his neighbour,ª or of his brother;ª because¹ it is calledª° the LORD'Sª release.ª ... Of¹ a foreignerª thou mayest exactª° [it again]: but [that] which¹ is¹ thine with¹ thy brotherª thine handª shall release;ª°" {Deu 15:2-3} + "Thou shalt not¹ lend upon usuryª° to thy brother;ª usuryª of money,ª usuryª of victuals,ª usuryª of any¹ thingª that¹ is lent upon usury:ª° ... Unto a strangerª thou mayest lend upon usury;ª° but unto thy brotherª thou shalt not¹ lend upon usury:ª° that¹ the LORDª thy Godª may blessª° thee in all¹ that thou settestª thine handª to in¹ the landª whither¹¹ thou¹ goestª° to possessª° it." {Deu 23:19-20} + "When¹ thou dost lendª° thy brotherª anyª thing,ª thou shalt not¹ goª° into¹ his houseª to fetchª° his pledge.ª ... In any case²° thou shalt deliverª° him¹ the pledgeª again²° when the sunª goeth down,ª° that he may sleepª° in his own raiment,ª and blessª° thee: and it shall be¹ righteousnessª unto thee beforeª the LORDª thy God.ª" {Deu 24:10-13} + "[[A Psalmª of David.]]ª LORD,ª who¹ shall abideª° in thy tabernacle?ª who¹ shall dwellª° in thy holyª hill?ª" {Psa 15:1} + "[He that] putteth not outª°¹ his moneyª to usury,ª nor¹ takethª° rewardª against¹ the innocent.ª He that doethª° these¹ [things] shall neverª¹ be moved.ª°" {Psa 15:5} + "In thee have they takenª° giftsª to¹ shedª° blood;ª thou hast takenª° usuryª and increase,ª and thou hast greedily gainedª° of thy neighboursª by extortion,ª and hast forgottenª° me, saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 22:12} + "Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Let it sufficeª you, O princesª of Israel:ª removeª° violenceª and spoil,ª and executeª° judgmentª and justice,ª take awayª° your exactionsª from¹¹ my people,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 45:9}
