Deuteronomy 24:14-21

14Thou shalt not oppressH6231 an hired servantH7916 that is poorH6041 and needyH34, whether he is of thy brethrenH251, or of thy strangersH1616 that are in thy landH776 within thy gatesH8179: 15At his dayH3117 thou shalt giveH5414 him his hireH7939, neither shall the sunH8121 go downH935 upon it; for he is poorH6041, and settethH5375 his heartH5315 upon it: lest he should cryH7121 against thee to the LORDH3068, and it be sinH2399 to thee.1 16The fathersH1 shall not be put to deathH4191 for the childrenH1121, neither shall the childrenH1121 be put to deathH4191 for the fathersH1: every manH376 shall be put to deathH4191 for his own sinH2399. 17Thou shalt not pervertH5186 the judgmentH4941 of the strangerH1616, nor of the fatherlessH3490; nor takeH2254 a widow’sH490 raimentH899 for a pledgeH2254: 18But thou shalt rememberH2142 that thou wast a slaveH5650 in EgyptH4714, and the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 redeemedH6299 thee from there: therefore I commandH6680 thee to doH6213 this thingH1697. 19When thou cuttest downH7114 thy harvestH7105 in thy fieldH7704, and hast forgotH7911 a sheafH6016 in the fieldH7704, thou shalt not go againH7725 to fetchH3947 it: it shall be for the strangerH1616, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490: that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 may blessH1288 thee in all the workH4639 of thy handsH3027. 20When thou beatestH2251 thy olive treeH2132, thou shalt not go over the boughsH6286 againH310: it shall be for the strangerH1616, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490.2 21When thou gatherestH1219 the grapes of thy vineyardH3754, thou shalt not gleanH5953 it afterwardH310: it shall be for the strangerH1616, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490.3
