"And hath not¹ oppressedª° any,ª [but] hath restoredª° to the debtorª his pledge,ª hath spoiledª° none¹ by violence,ª hath givenª° his breadª to the hungry,ª and hath coveredª° the nakedª with a garment;ª" {Ezk 18:7} + "Hath oppressedª° the poorª and needy,ª hath spoiledª° by violence,ª hath not¹ restoredª° the pledge,ª and hath lifted upª° his eyesª to¹ the idols,ª hath committedª° abomination,ª" {Ezk 18:12} + "Neither¹ hath oppressedª° any,ª hath not¹ withholdenª° the pledge,ª neither¹ hath spoiledª° by violence,ª [but] hath givenª° his breadª to the hungry,ª and hath coveredª° the nakedª with a garment,ª" {Ezk 18:16} + "If¹ thou at all²° take²° thy neighbour's² raiment² to pledge,ª°¹¹ thou shalt deliverª° it unto him by² that¹ the sunª goeth down:ª° ... For¹ that¹ [is] his coveringª only,¹ it¹ [is] his raimentª for his skin:ª wherein¹ shall he sleep?ª° and it shall come to pass,¹ when¹ he criethª° unto¹ me, that I will hear;ª° for¹ I¹ [am] gracious.ª" {Exd 22:26-27} + "No¹ man shall takeª° the netherª or the upper¹ millstone²¹ to pledge:ª° for¹ he¹ takethª° [a man's] lifeª to pledge.ª°" {Deu 24:6} + "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} + "Thou shalt not¹ pervertª° the judgmentª of the stranger,ª [nor] of the fatherless;ª nor¹ takeª° a widow'sª raimentª to pledge:ª°" {Deu 24:17} + "For¹ thou hast taken a pledgeª° from thy brotherª for nought,ª and strippedª° the nakedª of their clothing.ª" {Job 22:6} + "They drive awayª° the assª of the fatherless,ª they take²° the widow's² ox² for a pledge.ª°¹¹" {Job 24:3} + "They pluckª° the fatherlessª from the breast,ª¹ and take a pledgeª° of¹ the poor.ª" {Job 24:9} + "And they lay [themselves] downª° upon¹ clothesª laid to pledgeª° byª every¹ altar,ª and they drinkª° the wineª of the condemnedª° [in] the houseª of their god.ª" {Ams 2:8}
