Deuteronomy 24:14-21

14“1You shall not exploit a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your countrymen or one of your strangers who are in your land in your 2towns. 153You shall give him his wages on his day 4before the sun sets--for he is poor and sets his 5heart on it--so that 6he does not cry out against you to the Lord, and it becomes a sin in you.

16“7Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin alone.

17“8You shall not pervert the justice 9due a stranger or 10an orphan, nor 11seize a widow’s garment as a 12pledge. 18But you are to 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“13When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you are not to go back to get it; it shall belong 14to the stranger, the 15orphan, and to the widow, in order that the Lord your God 16may bless you in all the work of your hands. 2017When you beat the olives off your olive tree, you are not to search through the branches 18again; that shall be left 19for the stranger, the 20orphan, and for the widow.

21“When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you are not to 21go over it again; that shall be left for the stranger, the 22orphan, and the widow.
