25 If you lend money to the poor of my people who live among you, you shall not coerce them like a collector, nor oppress them with usury.

26 If you take a garment from your neighbor as a pledge, you shall return it to him again before the setting of the sun.

27 For it is all that he has to cover himself, to clothe his body; nor does he have anything else in which to sleep. If he cries out to me, I will hear him, because I am compassionate.
