... but the man who shall be just .... shall not lend his money upon usury ... “He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall deliver the souls of the needy.He shall redeem their souls from usury and injustice: and their name shall be precious before him.” (Psalm 71:13–14, Brenton LXX En) “There is usury upon usury, and deceit upon deceit: they would not know me, saith the Lord.” (Jeremiah 9:6, Brenton LXX En) “But the man who shall be just, who executes judgment and righteousness, who shall not eat upon the mountains, and shall not at all lift up his eyes to the devices of the house of Israel, and shall not defile his neighbour’s wife, and shall not draw nigh to her that is removed, and shall not oppress any man, but shall return the pledge of the debtor, and shall be guilty of no plunder, shall give his bread to the hungry, and clothe the naked; and shall not lend his money upon usury, and shall not receive usurious increase, and shall turn back his hand from injustice, shall execute righteous judgment between a man and his neighbour, and has walked in my commandments and kept mine ordinances, to do them; he is righteous, he shall surely live, saith the Lord.” (Ezekiel 18:5–9, Brenton LXX En) ... no true servant of the LORD or of His Son, Jesus the Christ, can make their living by charging interest. “In thee they have have received gifts to shed blood; they have received in thee interest and usurious increase; and by oppression thou hast brought thy wickedness to the full, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord.” (Ezekiel 22:12, Brenton LXX En) “Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”” (Luke 3:8–9, NKJV)
