EZEKIEL 18:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord God.”
The righteous person does not lend at interest or take profit from the vulnerable, maintains God's rules and walks in His statutes, and will surely live as a result of this comprehensive covenant faithfulness. The prohibition against usury extends protection to the economically vulnerable, preventing exploitation of those desperate enough to accept predatory lending. The promise of life flows naturally from such faithful living.
