Deuteronomy 24:15-22
English Standard Version
15 (A)You shall give him his wages on the same day, before the sun sets (for he is poor and counts on it), (B)lest he cry against you to the Lord, and you be guilty of sin.
16 (C)“Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 (D)“You shall not pervert the justice due to the sojourner or to the fatherless, (E)or take a widow's garment in pledge, 18 but (F)you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this.
19 (G)“When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, (H)that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. 20 When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over them again. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. 21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not strip it afterward. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. 22 (I)You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this.

New International Version
Deuteronomy 24:15-22
New International Version
15 Pay them their wages each day before sunset, because they are poor(A) and are counting on it.(B) Otherwise they may cry to the Lord against you, and you will be guilty of sin.(C)
16 Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.(D)
17 Do not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless(E) of justice,(F) or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge. 18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt(G) and the Lord your God redeemed you from there. That is why I command you to do this.
19 When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it.(H) Leave it for the foreigner,(I) the fatherless and the widow,(J) so that the Lord your God may bless(K) you in all the work of your hands. 20 When you beat the olives from your trees, do not go over the branches a second time.(L) Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow. 21 When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, do not go over the vines again. Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow. 22 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I command you to do this.(M)
