I pray you, let us leave off this usury. ¹¹ Restore, I pray you, to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive-gardens, and their houses, also the hundredth [part] of the money, and of the corn, the wine and the oil, that ye have exacted of them.

¹⁸ That which he laboured for shall he restore, and not swallow down; its restitution shall be according to the value, and he shall not rejoice [therein].

⁶ For thou hast taken a pledge of thy brother for nought, and stripped off the clothing of the naked.

³ They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow`s ox for a pledge;

⁹ They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor:

¹⁴ The murderer riseth with the light, killeth the afflicted and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

¹³ This is the portion of the wicked man with ?God, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty: -- ¹⁴ If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword, and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread; ¹⁵ Those that remain of him shall be buried by death, and his widows shall not weep.

⁵ They are driven forth from among [men] -- they cry after them as after a thief --

²³ For calamity from ?God was a terror to me, and by reason of his excellency I was powerless.

³⁸ If my land cry out against me, and its furrows weep together; ³⁹ If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, and have tormented to death the souls of its owners:

²⁸ So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty:

¹⁷ Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek, thou hast established their heart: thou causest thine ear to hear, ¹⁸ To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed one, that the man of the earth may terrify no more.

⁵ [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved.

⁶ In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.

⁶ For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.

⁶ This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.

²¹ The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteous is gracious and giveth:

²⁴ Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger take hold of them.

¹² For he will deliver the needy who crieth, and the afflicted, who hath no helper;

⁷ Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?

⁶³ The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not praised in [nuptial] song; ⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.

¹ {A Psalm of Asaph.} God standeth in the assembly of ?God, he judgeth among the gods.

¹ {A Psalm of Asaph.} God standeth in the assembly of ?God, he judgeth among the gods. ² How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? Selah. ³ Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute; ⁴ Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked. ⁵ They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved. ⁶ I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High; ⁷ But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

¹⁵ But thou, Lord, art a ?God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.

¹¹ Who knoweth the power of thine anger? and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?

⁶ They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless, ⁷ And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].

⁹ Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;

¹⁰ To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever, ¹¹ And brought out Israel from among them, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

¹ {[A Psalm] of David.} I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.

¹² I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.

¹⁹ He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them.

⁷ Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners; ⁸ Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous; ⁹ Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

⁹ Honour Jehovah with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase; ¹⁰ so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.

³⁰ They do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry: ³¹ and if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

³¹ and if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

⁴ Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

¹⁶ Take his garment that is become surety [for] another, and hold him in pledge for strangers.

²² Rob not the poor, because he is poor, neither oppress the afflicted in the gate; ²³ for Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoil them.

²⁷ if thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

¹⁰ Remove not the ancient landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: ¹¹ for their redeemer is mighty; he will plead their cause against thee.

⁸ He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance gathereth it for him that is gracious to the poor.

⁹ lest I be full and deny [thee], and say, Who is Jehovah? or lest I be poor and steal, and outrage the name of my God.

²⁰ Curse not the king, no, not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for the bird of the air will carry the voice, and that which hath wings will tell the matter.

¹⁷ learn to do well: seek judgment, gladden the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow.

²³ thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth presents, and hunteth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, and the cause of the widow cometh not unto them.

² to turn away the poor from judgment, and to take away the right from the afflicted of my people; that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

³ And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it, and I will destroy the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols and unto the conjurers, and unto the necromancers, and unto the soothsayers.

²⁰ and it shall be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of the oppressors, and he will send them a saviour and defender, who shall deliver them.

² Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her time of suffering is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she hath received of Jehovah`s hand double for all her sins.

¹ Thus saith Jehovah: Where is the bill of your mother`s divorce, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, through your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

²⁶ As a thief is ashamed when he is found, so shall the house of Israel be ashamed -- they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets --

⁶ [if] ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt;

⁸ Their widows are increased to me more than the sand of the seas; I have brought upon them, against the mother of the young men, a spoiler at noonday; I have caused anguish and terror to fall upon her suddenly.

¹⁰ Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole land! I have not lent on usury, nor have they lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me.

¹⁸ But first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have profaned my land with the carcases of their detestable things, and with their abominations have they filled mine inheritance.

²¹ Therefore give up their children to the famine, and deliver them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of children and be widows; and let their men be swept off by death, their young men be smitten by the sword in battle.

³ Thus saith Jehovah: Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor; and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place.

³ We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.

¹⁴ Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, my soul hath not been defiled, and from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or of that which is torn; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.

⁷ and hath not oppressed any; he hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath not exercised robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment; ⁸ he hath not given forth upon usury, nor taken increase; he hath withdrawn his hand from unrighteousness, hath executed true judgment between man and man,

¹³ given forth upon usury, and taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall certainly die; his blood shall be upon him.

¹⁶ and hath not oppressed any, nor withholden the pledge, neither hath exercised robbery; he hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment; ¹⁷ he hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, [and] walked in my statutes: he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall certainly live.

⁴⁰ For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, there shall all the house of Israel serve me, the whole of it, in the land; there will I accept them, and there will I require your heave-offerings and the first-fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.

⁷ In thee have they made light of father and mother; in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger; in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.

¹² In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast overreached thy neighbours by oppression, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁵ if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, doing nothing that is wrong; he shall certainly live, he shall not die.

³¹ The priests shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself, or of that which is torn, whether of fowl or of beast.

¹ When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they practise falsehood; and the thief entereth in, [and] the troop of robbers assaileth without.

⁹ They spread themselves over the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in by the windows like a thief.

⁸ And they lay [themselves] down by every altar upon clothes taken in pledge, and they drink [in] the house of their God the wine of the condemned.

¹² Thus saith Jehovah: Like as the shepherd rescueth out of the jaw of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and upon the damask of a bed.

⁸ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver.

¹ Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer-fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat; there is no early fruit [which] my soul desired.

⁶ Who shall stand before his indignation? and who shall abide in the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him.

¹² The lion tore in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.

¹⁰ and oppress not the widow and the fatherless, the stranger and the afflicted; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

¹⁰ For before those days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; and there was no peace for him that went out or that came in, because of the distress: for I let loose all men, every one against his neighbour.

⁵ And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the false swearers, and against those that oppress the hired servant in [his] wages, the widow and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger [from his right], and fear not me, saith Jehovah of hosts.

⁴² To him that asks of thee give, and from him that desires to borrow of thee turn not away.

¹⁴ For if ye forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father also will forgive you [yours], ¹⁵ but if ye do not forgive men their offences, neither will your Father forgive your offences.

¹⁹ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust spoils, and where thieves dig through and steal; ²⁰ but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust spoils, and where thieves do not dig through nor steal;

³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

¹⁵ But if thy brother sin against thee, go, reprove him between thee and him alone. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

²⁵ But he not having anything to pay, [his] lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and his children, and everything that he had, and that payment should be made.

³⁵ Thus also my heavenly Father shall do to you if ye forgive not from your hearts every one his brother.

⁴³ But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be dug through [into].

²⁷ thou oughtest then to have put my money to the money-changers, and when I came I should have got what is mine with interest.

³⁵ But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return, and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of [the] Highest; for *he* is good to the unthankful and wicked.

³⁸ Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom: for with the same measure with which ye mete it shall be measured to you again.

⁴⁸ but he who knew [it] not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom [men] have committed much, they will ask from him the more.

¹¹ If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true?

³ Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should repent, forgive him. ⁴ And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.

⁷ And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?

⁸ But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return [him] fourfold.

²³ And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and *I* should have received it, at my coming, with interest?

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? ³⁵ If he called *them* gods to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),

⁶ But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was put into [it].

⁹ But a certain man, by name Simon, had been before in the city, using magic arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, saying that himself was some great one. ¹⁰ To whom they had all given heed, from small to great, saying, This is the power of God which is called great. ¹¹ And they gave heed to him, because that for a long time he had astonished them by his magic arts.

¹⁴ And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.

²⁰ but to write to them to abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.

¹⁶ And it came to pass as we were going to prayer that a certain female slave, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much profit to her masters by prophesying. ¹⁷ She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you [the] way of salvation. ¹⁸ And this she did many days. And Paul, being distressed, turned, and said to the spirit, I enjoin thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour. ¹⁹ And her masters, seeing that the hope of their gains was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, dragged [them] into the market before the magistrates;

¹⁹ And many of those that practised curious arts brought their books [of charms] and burnt them before all. And they reckoned up the prices of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

³ Then Paul said to him, God will smite thee, whited wall. And *thou*, dost thou sit judging me according to the law, and breaking the law commandest me to be smitten?

⁵ And Paul said, I was not conscious, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evilly of the ruler of thy people.

⁵ but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in [the] day of wrath and revelation of [the] righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who shall render to each according to his works: ⁷ to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal. ⁸ But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [there shall be] wrath and indignation, ⁹ tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

²³ And not only [that], but even *we* ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, awaiting adoption, [that is] the redemption of our body.

² So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who [thus] resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves. ³ For rulers are not a terror to a good work, but to an evil [one]. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise [what is] good, and thou shalt have praise from it; ⁴ for it is God`s minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God`s minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does evil. ⁵ Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience. ⁶ For on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God`s officers, attending continually on this very thing. ⁷ Render to all their dues: to whom tribute [is due], tribute; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor abusive persons, nor [the] rapacious, shall inherit [the] kingdom of God.

²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,

² for ye know perfectly well yourselves, that the day of [the] Lord so comes as a thief by night.

¹² For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep for that day the deposit I have entrusted to him.

¹ Put them in mind to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient to rule, to be ready to do every good work, ² to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, [to be] mild, shewing all meekness towards all men.

¹⁶ For men indeed swear by a greater, and with them the oath is a term to all dispute, as making matters sure.

³¹ [It is] a fearful thing falling into [the] hands of [the] living God.

¹⁸ According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of *his* creatures.

²⁷ Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

⁴ Behold, the wages of your labourers, who have harvested your fields, wrongfully kept back by you, cry, and the cries of those that have reaped are entered into the ears of [the] Lord of sabaoth.

¹⁵ but as he who has called you is holy, be ye also holy in all [your] conversation; ¹⁶ because it is written, Be ye holy, for *I* am holy.

¹⁷ Shew honour to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king.

¹⁰ and specially those who walk after the flesh in [the] lust of uncleanness, and despise lordship. Bold [are they], self-willed; they do not fear speaking injuriously of dignities:

⁸ Yet in like manner these dreamers also defile [the] flesh, and despise lordship, and speak railingly against dignities.

⁶ Recompense her even as she has recompensed; and double [to her] double, according to her works. In the cup which she has mixed, mix to her double.

¹⁵ Without [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loves and makes a lie.
