Deuteronomy 15:1-6 - Debts Canceled

¹ At the end of every seven years thou shall make a release. ² And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not exact it from his neighbor and his brother, because LORD's release has been proclaimed. ³ From a foreigner thou may exact it, but whatever of thine is with thy brother, thy hand shall release.

⁴ However there shall be no poor with thee (for LORD will surely bless thee in the land which LORD thy God gives thee for an inheritance to possess it), ⁵ if only thou diligently hearken to the voice of LORD thy God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command thee this day. ⁶ For LORD thy God will bless thee as he promised thee, and thou shall lend to many nations, but thou shall not borrow, and thou shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee.
