Deuteronomy 24:10-18

Brenton(i) 10 (24:12) If thy neighbour owe thee a debt, any debt whatsoever, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge: 11 (24:13) thou shalt stand without, and the man who is in thy debt shall bring the pledge out to thee. 12 (24:14) And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge. 13 (24:15) Thou shalt surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless thee; and it shall be mercy to thee before the Lord thy God. 14 (24:16) Thou shalt not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of thy brethren, or of the strangers who are in thy cities. 15 (24:17) Thou shalt pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against thee to the Lord, and it shall be sin in thee. 16 (24:18) The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the sons shall not be put to death for the fathers; every one shall be put to death for his own sin. 17 (24:19) Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of the stranger and the fatherless, and widow; thou shalt not take the widow's garment for a pledge. 18 (24:20) And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee from thence; therefore I charge thee to do this thing.
