Debt

“Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.”

“If you lend money to one of My people among you who is poor, you must not act as a creditor to him; you are not to charge him interest.”

“Do not take a pair of millstones or even an upper millstone as security for a debt, because that would be taking one’s livelihood as security.”

“When you lend anything to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect security.”

“Others were saying, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our homes to get grain during the famine.””

“Still others were saying, “We have borrowed money to pay the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards.”

“For you needlessly demanded security from your brothers and deprived the naked of their clothing.”

“The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast; the nursing child of the poor is seized for a debt.”
