Deuteronomy 24:14-21

14“1You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your 2countrymen or one of your aliens who is in your land in your 3towns. 154You shall give him his wages on his day 5before the sun sets, for he is poor and sets his 6heart on it; so that 7he will not cry against you to the Lord and it become sin in you.

16“8Fathers shall not be put to death 9for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death 10for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin.

17“11You shall not pervert the justice 12due an alien or 13an orphan, nor 14take a widow’s garment in pledge. 18But 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“15When 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 16for the alien, for the 17orphan, and for the widow, in order that the Lord your God 18may bless you in all the work of your hands. 2019When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs 20again; it shall be 21for the alien, for the 22orphan, and for the widow.

21“When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not 23go over it again; it shall be for the alien, for the 24orphan, and for the widow.
