וְלֹֽא־יִשְׂא֨וּ עֵצִ֜ים מִן־הַשָּׂדֶ֗ה וְלֹ֤א יַחְטְבוּ֙ מִן־הַיְּעָרִ֔ים כִּ֥י בַנֶּ֖שֶׁק יְבַֽעֲרוּ־אֵ֑שׁ וְשָׁלְל֣וּ אֶת־שֹׁלְלֵיהֶ֗ם וּבָֽזְזוּ֙ אֶת־בֹּ֣זְזֵיהֶ֔ם נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃ (ס)
이와 같이 그 병기로 불을 피울 것이므로 그들이 들에서 나무를 취하지 아니하며 삼림에서 벌목하지 아니하겠고 전에 자기에게서 약탈하던 자의 것을 약탈하며 전에 자기에게서 늑탈하던 자의 것을 늑탈하리라 나 주 여호와의 말이니라
Shemot Rabbah
Another matter, “if you lend money to My people,” that is what is written: “One who increases his wealth through usury and interest amasses it for the sake of one who is gracious to the indigent” (Proverbs 28:8). There is a person who is wealthy, and he lends with interest and amasses much money, but he dies without children and all his money enters the royal treasury. What does the king do with that money? He constructs platforms, bathhouses, benches, and lavatories for the use of the poor. That is, “amasses it for the sake of one who is gracious to the indigent.”
Another matter, “one who increases his wealth through usury,” this is Esau the wicked, who was a lender with usury and interest. For whom did he accrue this money? For Israel, as it is stated: “For the sake of one who is gracious to the indigent.” And it is stated: “They will plunder their plunderers and loot their looters” (Ezekiel 39:10). That is why the Holy One blessed be He cautioned Israel not to lend with interest, so that others will not consume their belongings. That is, “if you lend money to My people, to the poor.”
