Deuteronomy 23:21

← Deuteronomy 23:20	Deuteronomy 23:21 (KJV)	Deuteronomy 23:22 →
Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.	When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.	But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
