26 If you at all take your neighbor's raiment to pledge, you shall deliver it to him by that the sun goes down:

27 For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he cries to me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.

28 You shall not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of your people.
