extortion <EZE22 -12> In thee have they taken gifts to shed

blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast

greedily gained of thy neighbours by {extortion}, and hast

forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

extortion <MAT23 -25> Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,

hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the

platter, but within they are full of {extortion} and excess.
