Deuteronomy 24:14-21

14Thou shalt not oppressH6231 a hired servant that is poorH6041 and needyH34, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy sojournersH1616 that are in thy landH776 within thy gatesH8179: 15in his dayH3117 thou shalt giveH5414 him his hireH7939, neither shall the sunH8121 goH935 down upon it (for he is poorH6041, and setteth his heart upon it); lest he cry against thee unto Jehovah, and it beH1961 sinH2399 unto thee.

16The fathersH1 shall not be putH4191 to deathH4191 for the children, neither shall the children be putH4191 to deathH4191 for the fathersH1: every manH376 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191 for his own sinH2399.

17Thou shalt not wrest the justiceH4941 due to the sojournerH1616, or to the fatherlessH3490, nor takeH2254 the widow’sH490 raiment to pledge; 18but thou shalt rememberH2142 that thou wast a bondman in EgyptH4714, and Jehovah thy GodH430 redeemedH6299 thee thence: thereforeH3651 I commandH6680 thee to do this thingH1697.

19When thou reapest thy harvestH7105 in thy fieldH7704, and hast forgotH7911 a sheafH6016 in the fieldH7704, thou shalt not goH7725 again to fetch it: it shall beH1961 for the sojournerH1616, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490; that Jehovah thy GodH430 may blessH1288 thee in all the workH4639 of thy handsH3027. 20When thou beatest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall beH1961 for the sojournerH1616, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490. 21When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyardH3754, thou shalt not glean it after thee: it shall beH1961 for the sojournerH1616, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490.
