Thematic Bible: Usury, forbidden


Thematic Bible



If you lend money to My people, to the poor among you, you are not to act as a creditor to him; you shall not charge him interest.

Do not take usurious interest from him, but revere your God, that your countryman may live with you.

He does not put out his money at interest,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.

if he does not lend money on interest or take increase, if he keeps his hand from iniquity and executes true justice between man and man,
