Deuteronomy 24:10-15
Legacy Standard Bible
10 “(A)When you make your neighbor a loan of any sort, you shall not enter his house to take his deposit. 11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the deposit out to you. 12 Now if he is an afflicted man, you shall not sleep with his deposit. 13 (B)When the sun goes down you shall surely return the deposit to him, that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; and (C)it will be righteousness for you before Yahweh your God.
14 “(D)You shall not oppress a hired person who is afflicted and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of your sojourners who is in your land within your gates. 15 (E)You shall give him his wages on his day [a]before the sun goes down, for he is afflicted and sets his soul on it, so that (F)he will not cry against you to Yahweh and it become sin in you.

Deuteronomy 24:10-15
Evangelical Heritage Version
10 When you make a loan to your neighbor, a loan of any kind, do not go into his house to take his security pledge. 11 Stand outside, and the man to whom you are making the loan will bring the pledged object out to you. 12 If he is a poor man, do not sleep in a garment he has pledged as security. 13 You are certainly to return the pledged object to him at sundown so he can sleep in his garment and bless you. Righteousness will be yours before the Lord your God.
14 Do not oppress a hired person who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brother Israelites or one of the aliens who reside in your land inside your gates. 15 Each day, before the sun goes down, pay him his wages, because he is poor and his life depends on it. If you do not, he will cry out against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
