8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
8 Whoever increases wealth by taking interest or profit from the poor amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.
8 Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and profit
8 Get as rich as you want through cheating and extortion, But eventually some friend of the poor is going to give it all back to them.
8 One who increases his possessions by usury and extortion Gathers it for him who will pity the poor.
8 Income from charging high interest rates will end up in the pocket of someone who is kind to the poor.

That which is ill got, though it may increase much, will not last long. Thus the poor are repaid, and God is glorified.
