Deuteronomy 24:12–22

12 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge: 13 kIn any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and lbless thee: and mit shall be righteousness unto thee before the Lord thy God. 14 Thou shalt not noppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates: 15 At his day othou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: plest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee. 16 qThe fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. 17 rThou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; snor take a widow’s raiment to pledge: 18 But tthou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing. 19 uWhen thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot wa sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the Lord thy God may xbless thee in all the work of thine hands. 20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not yglean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 22 And zthou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
