Deuteronomy 24:12-15

12IfH518 he is a poorH6041 manH376, you shall not sleepH7901 with his pledgeH5667. 13 1When the sunH8121 goesH935 down you shall surelyH7725 returnH7725 the pledgeH5667 to him, that he may sleepH7901 in his cloakH8008 and blessH1288 you; and 2it will be righteousnessH6666 for you beforeH6440 the LordH3068 your GodH430.

14“3You shall not oppressH6231 a hiredH7916 servantH7916 who is poorH6041 and needyH34, whetherH4480 he is one of your 4countrymenH251 orH176 one of your aliensH1616 whoH834 is in your landH776 in your 5townsH8179. 15 6You shall giveH5414 him his wagesH7939 on his dayH3117 7before the sunH8121 setsH935, for he is poorH6041 and setsH5375 his 8heartH5315 on it; so that 9he will not cryH7121 againstH5921 you to the LordH3068 and it becomeH1961 sinH2399 in you.
