¹⁴ “You shall not ^(A)oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns. ^15 (B)You shall give him his wages on the same day, before the sun sets (for he is poor and counts on it), ^(C)lest he cry against you to the Lord, and you be guilty of sin.

⁵ “Then I will draw near to you for judgement. I will be ^(A)a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those ^(B)who oppress the hired worker in his wages, ^(C)the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.

⁴ Behold, ^(A)the wages of the labourers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and ^(B)the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of ^(C)the Lord of hosts.
