Leviticus 25:38

³⁶ Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.

³⁷ You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

³⁹ If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.

⁴⁰ Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
