Job 24:3

hasn’t wronged any, hasn’t taken anything to pledge, hasn’t taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;

for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.

Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?

I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.

Moses was very angry, and said to Yahweh, “Don’t respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.”

Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”

You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge, for he takes a life in pledge.

You shall not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, nor take a widow’s clothing in pledge;

For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.

if I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;

Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.

I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

If you take your neighbor’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,

“You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.

You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am Yahweh.

Moses said to Korah, “You and all your company go before Yahweh, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow.

When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them; for you may eat of them. You shall not cut them down, for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged by you?

Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.

You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.

There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor,

the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.

if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,

He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

If you don’t have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?

Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!

to deprive the needy from justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!

The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says Yahweh.

As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he will die in his iniquity.

In you have they treated father and mother with contempt. Among you they have oppressed the foreigner. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.

Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.”

He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”

For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

then it shall be, if he has sinned, and is guilty, he shall restore that which he took by robbery, or the thing which he has gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found,

Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because Yahweh had shut up her womb.

Behold, the days come that I will cut off your arm and the arm of your father’s house, that there will not be an old man in your house.

Here I am. Witness against me before Yahweh, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Of whose hand have I taken a bribe to make me blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”

For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he will not build it up.

He devours the barren who don’t bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.

or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it

Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.

Don’t move the ancient boundary stone. Don’t encroach on the fields of the fatherless,

if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he will surely live. He will not die.

“ ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Let it suffice you, princes of Israel: remove violence and plunder, and execute justice and righteousness; dispossessing my people,” says the Lord Yahweh.

A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’

Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.

The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.

If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.
