Deuteronomy 24:6
No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh[ a man’s] life to pledge.

Job 22:6-9
For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.But[ as for] the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

Deuteronomy 24:17-21
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger,[ nor] of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge:But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean[ it] afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

Job 31:16-17
If I have withheld the poor from[ their] desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

Deuteronomy 24:10-13
When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.And if the man[ be] poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God.

1 Samuel 12 3
Behold, here I[ am]: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received[ any] bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
