Deuteronomy 15:2

he must not force payment from his fellow Israelite,
for it is to be recognized as “the
Lord’s cancellation of debts.”
Nehemiah 5:7
5:7 I considered these things carefully
and then registered a complaint with the wealthy
and the officials. I said to them, “Each one of you is seizing the collateral
from your own countrymen!”
Because of them I called for
a great public assembly.
Nehemiah 5:10-11
5:10 Even I and my relatives
and my associates
are lending them money and grain. But let us abandon this practice of seizing collateral!
5:11 This very day return to them their fields, their vineyards, their olive trees, and their houses, along with the interest
that you are exacting from them on the money, the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil.”
Nehemiah 10:31
10:31 We will not buy
on the Sabbath or on a holy day from the neighboring peoples who bring their wares and all kinds of grain to sell on the Sabbath day. We will let the fields lie fallow every seventh year, and we will cancel every loan.
Isaiah 58:3
58:3 They lament, ‘Why don’t you notice when we fast?
Why don’t you pay attention when we humble ourselves?’
Look, at the same time you fast, you satisfy your selfish desires,
you oppress your workers.
