Bible verse
Do not charge your brother interest on money, food, or any other type of loan.
Deuteronomy 23:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 23.
15 Do not return a slave to his master if he has taken refuge with you.
16 Let him live among you wherever he chooses, in the town of his pleasing. Do not oppress him.
17 No daughter or son of Israel is to be a shrine prostitute.
18 You must not bring the wages of a prostitute, whether female or male, into the house of the LORD your God to fulfill any vow, because both are detestable to the LORD your God.
19 Do not charge your brother interest on money, food, or any other type of loan.
20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not your brother, so that the LORD your God may bless you in everything to which you put your hand in the land that you are entering to possess.
21 If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to keep it, because He will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin.
22 But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty of sin.
23 Be careful to follow through on what comes from your lips, because you have freely vowed to the LORD your God with your own mouth.
