Deuteronomy 24:10-15

10When you make a loan to your neighbor, don’t go into his house to take a security deposit.

11Wait outside, and the person to whom you’re making the loan will bring the deposit out to you.

12If the person is poor, don’t keep the coat you took as a deposit overnight.

13Make sure you bring it back to him at sunset. When he wears his coat to bed ⌞that night⌟, he’ll bless you. You will have done the right thing in the presence of the Lord your God.

14Don’t withhold pay from hired workers who are poor and needy, whether they are Israelites or foreigners living in one of your cities.

15Pay them each day before sunset because they are poor and need their pay. Otherwise, they will complain to the Lord about you, and you will be condemned for your sin.
