Deuteronomy 23:20-22
Lexham English Bible
20 You may lend on interest to the foreigner, but to your countryman[a] you may not lend on interest, so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all your undertakings[b] in the land where you are going,[c] in order to take possession of it.[d]
21 “When you make a vow[e] to Yahweh your God, you shall not postpone fulfillment of it,[f] for certainly Yahweh your God shall require it from you and if postponed you will incur guilt.[g] 22 And if you refrain from vowing,[h] you shall not incur guilt.[i]

New International Version
20 You may charge a foreigner(A) interest, but not a fellow Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless(B) you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess.
21 If you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not be slow to pay it,(C) for the Lord your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.(D) 22 But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty.(E)
