For you have exacted pledges from your family for no reason and stripped the naked of their clothing.
If you take your neighbor’s cloak as guarantee, you shall restore it before the sun goes down,
for it may be your neighbor’s only clothing to use as a cover. In what else shall that person sleep? And when your neighbor cries out to me, I will listen, for I am compassionate.
You should rather open your hand, willingly lending enough to meet the need, whatever it may be.
You shall wait outside while the person to whom you are making the loan brings the pledge out to you.
