²⁰ “Whoever sacrifices to any god^(A) other than the Lord must be destroyed.^[a](B)

²¹ “Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner,^(C) for you were foreigners^(D) in Egypt.

²² “Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless.^{(E) 23} If you do and they cry out^(F) to me, I will certainly hear their cry.^{(G) 24} My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless.^(H)

²⁵ “If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest.^{(I) 26} If you take your neighbor’s cloak as a pledge,^(J) return it by sunset, ²⁷ because that cloak is the only covering your neighbor has. What else can they sleep in?^(K) When they cry out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.^(L)
