"The rich man ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." Proverbs 22:7
"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. And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words." Nehemiah 5:3-6
"If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?" Proverbs 22:27
