For you have taken pledges from your brother for no reason, And stripped the naked of their clothing.
If you ever take your neighbor’s garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down.
Has not oppressed anyone, Nor withheld a pledge, Nor robbed by violence, But has given his bread to the hungry And covered the naked with clothing;
If he has oppressed the poor and needy, Robbed by violence, Not restored the pledge, Lifted his eyes to the idols, Or committed abomination;
They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; They take the widow’s ox as a pledge.
“No man shall take the lower or the upper millstone in pledge, for he takes one’s living in pledge.
They lie down by every altar on clothes taken in pledge, And drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
If he has not oppressed anyone, But has restored to the debtor his pledge; Has robbed no one by violence, But has given his bread to the hungry And covered the naked with clothing;
They spend the night naked, without clothing, And have no covering in the cold.
Because I delivered the poor who cried out, The fatherless and the one who had no helper.
