Bible verse
He does not engage in usury or take excess interest, but he withholds his hand from iniquity and executes true justice between men.
Ezekiel 18:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 18.
4 Behold, every soul belongs to Me; both father and son are Mine. The soul who sins is the one who will die.
5 Now suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right:
6 He does not eat at the mountain or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife or approach a woman during her period.
7 He does not oppress another, but restores the pledge to the debtor. He does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.
8 He does not engage in usury or take excess interest, but he withholds his hand from iniquity and executes true justice between men.
9 He follows My statutes and faithfully keeps My ordinances. That man is righteous; surely he will live, declares the Lord GOD.
10 Now suppose that man has a violent son, who sheds blood or does any of these things,
11 though the father has done none of them: Indeed, the son eats at the mountain and defiles his neighbor’s wife.
12 He oppresses the poor and needy; he commits robbery and does not restore a pledge. He lifts his eyes to idols; he commits abominations.
