General scriptures concerning
See LENDINGExodus 22:14-15 And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good. But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.Nehemiah 5:1-13 And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live. Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards. Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards. ...Psalms 37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.Proverbs 22:7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.Matthew 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
