Ezekiel

Ezekiel 18:7–8

7He does not oppress another,

but restores the pledge to the debtor.

He does not commit robbery,

but gives his bread to the hungry

and covers the naked with clothing.

8He does not engage in usury

or take excess interest,

but he withholds his hand from iniquity

and executes true justice between men.
