But has restored to the debtor his bpledge;
Has robbed no one by violence,
But has cgiven his bread to the hungry
And covered the naked with dclothing;
But has restored to the debtor his bpledge;
Has robbed no one by violence,
But has cgiven his bread to the hungry
And covered the naked with dclothing;
8 If he has not1 exacted ausury
Nor taken any increase,
But has withdrawn his hand from iniquity
And bexecuted true judgment between man and man;
Nor taken any increase,
But has withdrawn his hand from iniquity
And bexecuted true judgment between man and man;
9 If he has walked in My statutes
And kept My judgments faithfully—
He is just;
He shall surely alive!”
Says the Lord God.
And kept My judgments faithfully—
He is just;
He shall surely alive!”

12 If he has oppressed the poor and needy,
Robbed by violence,
Not restored the pledge,
Lifted his eyes to the idols,
Or acommitted abomination;
Robbed by violence,
Not restored the pledge,
Lifted his eyes to the idols,
Or acommitted abomination;
13 If he has exacted usury
Or taken increase—
Shall he then live?
He shall not live!
If he has done any of these abominations,
He shall surely die;
aHis blood shall be upon him.
Or taken increase—
Shall he then live?
He shall not live!
If he has done any of these abominations,
He shall surely die;
aHis blood shall be upon him.
14 “If, however, he begets a son
Who sees all the sins which his father has done,
And considers but does not do likewise;
Who sees all the sins which his father has done,
And considers but does not do likewise;
15 aWho has not eaten1 on the mountains,
Nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
Nor defiled his neighbor’s wife;
Nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
Nor defiled his neighbor’s wife;
