Deuteronomy 24:15-17

Living Bible

^14-15 “Never oppress a poor hired man, whether a fellow Israelite or a foreigner living in your town. Pay him his wage each day before sunset, for since he is poor he needs it right away; otherwise he may cry out to the Lord against you and it would be counted as a sin against you.

¹⁶ “Fathers shall not be put to death for the sins of their sons nor the sons for the sins of their fathers; every man worthy of death shall be executed for his own crime.

¹⁷ “Justice must be given to migrants and orphans, and you must never accept a widow’s garment in pledge of her debt.
