Deuteronomy 24:10-15
1599 Geneva Bible
10 When thou shalt ask again of thy neighbor anything lent, thou shalt not go [a]into his house to fet his pledge.
11 But thou shalt stand without, and the man that borrowed it of thee, shall bring the pledge out of the doors unto thee.
12 Furthermore if it be a poor body, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge,
13 But shalt restore him the pledge when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee [b]before the Lord thy God.
14 ¶ Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is needy and poor, neither of thy brethren nor of the stranger that is in thy land within thy gates.
15 (A)Thou shalt give him his hire for his day, neither shall the sun go down upon it: for he is poor, and therewith sustaineth his life: lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee.
