Deuteronomy 24:11-20
English Standard Version
Chapter 24
11You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the pledge out to you. 12And if he is a poor man, you shall not sleep in his pledge. 13You shall restore to him the pledge as the sun sets, that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you. And it shall be righteousness for you before the Lord your God.
14"You shall not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns.
15You shall give him his wages on the same day, before the sun sets (for he is poor and counts on it), lest he cry against you to the Lord, and you be guilty of sin.
17"You shall not pervert the justice due to the sojourner or to the fatherless, or take a widow 's garment in pledge,
18but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this.
19"When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
20When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over them again. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow.
