9 Bible Verses about Laws About Pledges

Do not pervert the justice due an alien or an orphan. Do not take a widow's garment in pledge.

Do not take a hand mill or an upper millstone as security for a debt. That would be taking away a man's livelihood.

When you make your neighbor a loan of any sort do not go into his house and repossess the security. Remain outside, and the man to whom you make the loan must bring the pledged security out to you.

If you take someone's cloak as a pledge that he will pay you, you must give it back to him before the sunsets,

If he is a poor man, do not keep the pledged security over night. Return the pledge to him before the sun goes down. He will have his pledged item and he may sleep. He will bless you. And it will be righteousness for you before Jehovah your God.

if a man does not oppress anyone, but restores to the debtor his pledge, does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.

He does not oppress anyone. He does not keep the security for a loan. He does not rob anyone. He gives food to people who are hungry, and he gives clothes to those who are naked.

and if he returns the security he took for a loan or gives back what he stole, if he stops sinning and follows the laws that give life, he will not die, but he will live.

He oppresses the poor and needy. He robs. He does not return the security for a loan. He looks to idols for help. He does disgusting things.
