10. When you make a loan to your neighbor, don’t go into his house to take a security deposit.
11. Wait outside, and the person to whom you’re making the loan will bring the deposit out to you.
12. If the person is poor, don’t keep the coat you took as a deposit overnight.
13. Make 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.
14. Don’t withhold pay from hired workers who are poor and needy, whether they are Israelites or foreigners living in one of your cities.
15. Pay 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.
16. Parents must never be put to death for the crimes of their children, and children must never be put to death for the crimes of their parents. Each person must be put to death for his own crime.
