Ezekiel 18:8 — KJV
Usury. Interest, not only exorbitant, but any amount whatsoever. The Mosaic law prohibited the Jews from taking interest from their brethren who had “waxen poor,” but permitted them to take it from a foreigner (see on Exodus 22:25; see Deuteronomy 23:19, 20).
Executed true judgment. See Isaiah 33:15; Jeremiah 7:5; Zechariah 7:9. God requires absolute fairness, truthfulness, and integrity of all his children.
