Of Poor Countrymen

35 (A)Now in case a (a)countryman of yours becomes poor and his (b)means with regard to you falter, then you are to sustain him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. 36 (B)Do not take (c)usurious interest from him, but revere your God, that your (d)countryman may live with you. 37 You shall not give him your silver at interest, nor your food for gain.
