Deuteronomy 24:6
“ Do not take a pair of grindstones or even the upper millstone as security for a debt, because that is like taking a life as security.

Job 22:6-9
For you took collateral from your brothers without cause, stripping off their clothes and leaving them naked.You gave no water to the thirsty and withheld food from the famished,while the land belonged to a powerful man and an influential man lived on it.You sent widows away empty-handed, and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.

Deuteronomy 24:17-21
Do not deny justice to a resident alien or fatherless child, and do not take a widow’s garment as security.Remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you from there. Therefore I am commanding you to do this.“ When you reap the harvest in your field, and you forget a sheaf in the field, do not go back to get it. It is to be left for the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.When you knock down the fruit from your olive tree, do not go over the branches again. What remains will be for the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow.When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, do not glean what is left. What remains will be for the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow.

Job 31:16-17
If I have refused the wishes of the poor or let the widow’s eyes go blind,if I have eaten my few crumbs alone without letting the fatherless eat any of it—

Deuteronomy 24:10-13
“ When you make a loan of any kind to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect what he offers as security.Stand outside while the man you are making the loan to brings the security out to you.If he is a poor man, do not sleep with the garment he has given as security.Be sure to return it to him at sunset. Then he will sleep in it and bless you, and this will be counted as righteousness to you before the LORD your God.

1 Samuel 12 3
Here I am. Bring charges against me before the LORD and his anointed: Whose ox or donkey have I taken? Who have I wronged or mistreated? Who gave me a bribe to overlook something? I will return it to you.”
