You must not charge interest on a loan to your fellow Israelite, whether on money, food, or anything else that has been loaned with interest.

Whatever you vow, you must be careful to do what you have promised, such as what you have vowed to the Lord your God as a freewill offering.

Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam along the way after you left Egypt.

You must stand outside and the person to whom you are making the loan will bring out to you what he is offering as security.

You must not oppress a lowly and poor servant, whether one from among your fellow Israelites or from the resident foreigners who are living in your land and villages.

Remember what the Amalekites did to you on your way from Egypt,

The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, eczema, and scabies, all of which cannot be healed.

You will become an occasion of horror, a proverb, and an object of ridicule to all the peoples to whom the Lord will drive you.

The foreigners who reside among you will become higher and higher over you and you will become lower and lower.

“Because you have not served the Lord your God joyfully and wholeheartedly with the abundance of everything you have,

a nation of stern appearance that will have no regard for the elderly or pity for the young.

He will infect you with all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will persistently afflict you.

Your eyes have seen the great judgments, those signs and mighty wonders.

your infants, your wives, and the foreigners living in your encampment, those who chop wood and those who carry water –

so that you may enter by oath into the covenant the Lord your God is making with you today.

You have seen their detestable things and idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold.)

Then he will bring you to the land your ancestors possessed and you also will possess it; he will do better for you and multiply you more than he did your ancestors.

The Lord will deliver them over to you and you will do to them according to the whole commandment I have given you.

who ate the best of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise and help you; let them be your refuge!

This is the blessing Moses the man of God pronounced upon the Israelites before his death.
