Thematic Bible: Usury, forbidden
Thematic Bible
Business life » Debts » Usury, forbidden
“If you lend money to any one of My people with you who is poor, you shall not act as a creditor (professional moneylender) to him; you shall not charge him interest.
I thought it over and then challenged the nobles and the rulers. I said to them, “You are exacting usury (excessive interest) from your own brother (relative).” So I held a great assembly to confront them.
He who increases his wealth by interest and usury (excessive interest)
Gathers it for him who is gracious to the poor.
Do not charge him usurious interest, but fear your God [with profound reverence], so your countryman may [continue to] live among you.
He does not put out his money at interest [to a fellow Israelite],
And does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.
if he does not charge interest or take a percentage of increase [on what he lends in compassion], if he keeps his hand from sin and executes true justice between man and man,
