Deuteronomy 24:10-15
International Standard Version
Respecting the Poor
10 “When you loan something to your neighbor, don’t enter his house to seize what he offered as collateral. 11 Stay outside and let the man to whom you made the loan bring it[a] out to you. 12 If he is a poor man, don’t go to sleep with his collateral in your possession.[b] 13 Be sure to return his garment[c] to him at sunset so that he may sleep with it, and he will bless you. It will be a righteous deed in the presence of the Lord your God. 14 Don’t take advantage of a hired person who is poor and needy, whether he’s your fellow citizen or a foreigner who lives in your city. 15 Pay his wages that same day before the sun sets, because he is poor and his livelihood[d] depends on it. Otherwise, he may cry out to the Lord against you, and you will incur guilt.”

Deuteronomy 24:10-15
Lexham English Bible
10 “When you make a loan to your neighbor, a loan of any kind, you shall not go into his house to take his pledge.[a] 11 You shall wait outside, and the man to whom you are lending, he shall bring the pledge outside to you. 12 And if he is a needy man, you shall not sleep in his pledge.[b] 13 You shall certainly return the pledge to him as the sun sets,[c] so that he may sleep in his cloak and may bless you, and it shall be considered righteousness on your behalf[d] before[e] Yahweh your God.
14 “You shall not exploit a hired worker, who is needy and poor, from among your fellow men or from among your aliens[f] who are in your land and in your towns.[g] 15 On his day you shall give his wage, and the sun shall not go down,[h] because he is poor and his life depends on it;[i] do this so that he does not cry out against you to Yahweh, and you incur guilt.[j]
