Deuteronomy 24:12-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. “And if the man is poor, do not sleep with his pledge.

13. “By all means return the pledge to him at sundown, and he shall sleep in his own garment, and shall bless you. And it shall be righteousness to you before יהוה your Elohim.

14. “Do not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, of your brothers or of the strangers who is in your land within your gates.

15. “Give him his wages on the same day, and do not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and lifts up his being to it, so that he does not cry out against you to יהוה, and it shall be sin in you.

16. “Fathers are not put to death for their children, and children are not put to death for their fathers, each is to die for his own sin.
