Exodus 22:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as a pledge, you shall return it to him before sunset; 26 for this is his only covering; it is the cloak for his body. What will he sleep in? If he cries out to me, I will listen; for I am compassionate.(A)
27 You shall not despise God,[a] nor curse a leader of your people.(B)
