Psalms 15:4

Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change.

Bible in Basic English

In The King James Version

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

5He who does not put out his money at interest, or for payment give false decisions against men who have done no wrong. He who does these things will never be moved.
