Deuteronomy 24:4-14 World English Bible (WEB)

4. her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before Yahweh. You shall not cause the land to sin, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.

5. When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, neither shall he be assigned any business. He shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.

6. No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge; for he takes a life in pledge.

7. If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the children of Israel, and he deals with him as a slave, or sells him; then that thief shall die. So you shall remove the evil from among you.

8. Be careful in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites teach you. As I commanded them, so you shall observe to do.

9. Remember what Yahweh your God did to Miriam, by the way as you came out of Egypt.

10. When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge.

11. You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge outside to you.

12. If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.

13. You shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless you. It shall be righteousness to you before Yahweh your God.

14. You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers, or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your gates.
