Leviticus 25:35-37

New International Reader's Version

³⁵ “ ‘Suppose any of your own people become poor. And suppose they can’t take care of themselves. Then help them just as you would help an outsider or a stranger. In that way, the poor can continue to live among you. ³⁶ Do not charge them interest of any kind. Instead, have respect for God. Then those who have become poor can continue to live among you. ³⁷ If you lend them money, you must not charge them interest. And you must not sell them food for more than it cost you.
