Deuteronomy 24:14–22

¹⁴“^aYou shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your ¹countrymen or one of your aliens who is in your land in your ²towns.

¹⁵“^aYou shall give him his wages on his day ¹before the sun sets, for he is poor and sets his ²heart on it; so that ^bhe will not cry against you to the Lord and it become sin in you.

¹⁶“^aFathers shall not be put to death ¹for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin.

¹⁷“^aYou shall not pervert the justice ¹due an alien or ²an orphan, nor ^btake a widow’s garment in pledge.

¹⁸“But you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and that the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.

¹⁹“^aWhen you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be ^bfor the alien, for the ¹orphan, and for the widow, in order that the Lord your God ^cmay bless you in all the work of your hands.

²⁰“^aWhen you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs ¹again; it shall be ^bfor the alien, for the ²orphan, and for the widow.

²¹“When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not ¹go over it again; it shall be for the alien, for the ²orphan, and for the widow.

²²“You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.
