Deuteronomy 23:18-20
New Catholic Bible
18 No Israelite woman is to become a sacred prostitute, nor is an Israelite man to be a sacred prostitute. 19 You are not to bring the wages of a female prostitute or a male prostitute[a] into the shrine of the Lord, your God, to pay for any vow. Both of these are abominations to the Lord, your God.
20 [b]Do not charge your brother interest, whether it be on money or food or anything else that could earn interest.
