He does not defile his neighbor’s wife. 16 He does not oppress anyone, or require a pledge for a loan, or commit robbery. He gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing. 17 He refrains from harming the poor, does not lend at interest or take a profit, and obeys my rules and walkthroughs my statutes.

Yet you have not obeyed me. What is this that you have done?' 3 So now I say, 'I will not drive them out before you.
