Deuteronomy 24:10-15
New American Standard Bible
10 “(A)When you make your neighbor a loan of any kind, you shall not enter his house to take his pledge. 11 You shall stand outside, and the person to whom you are making the loan shall bring the pledge outside to you. 12 And if he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge. 13 (B)When the sun goes down you shall certainly return the pledge to him, so that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; and (C)it will be righteousness for you before the Lord your God.
14 “(D)You shall not exploit a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your countrymen or one of your strangers who are in your land in your [a]towns. 15 (E)You shall give him his wages on his day [b]before the sun sets—for he is poor and sets his [c]heart on it—so that (F)he does not cry out against you to the Lord, and it becomes a sin in you.

New King James Version
10 “When you (A)lend your brother anything, 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 out to you. 12 And if the man is poor, you shall not [a]keep his pledge overnight. 13 (B)You shall in any case return the pledge to him again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own garment and (C)bless you; and (D)it shall be righteousness to you before the Lord your God.
14 “You shall not (E)oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in your land within your gates. 15 Each day (F)you shall give him his wages, and not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and has set his heart on it; (G)lest he cry out against you to the Lord, and it be sin to you.

Deuteronomy 24:10-15
New International Version
10 When you make a loan of any kind to your neighbor, do not go into their house to get what is offered to you as a pledge.(A) 11 Stay outside and let the neighbor to whom you are making the loan bring the pledge out to you. 12 If the neighbor is poor, do not go to sleep with their pledge(B) in your possession. 13 Return their cloak by sunset(C) so that your neighbor may sleep in it.(D) Then they will thank you, and it will be regarded as a righteous act in the sight of the Lord your God.(E)
14 Do not take advantage of a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether that worker is a fellow Israelite or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.(F) 15 Pay them their wages each day before sunset, because they are poor(G) and are counting on it.(H) Otherwise they may cry to the Lord against you, and you will be guilty of sin.(I)
