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.

10 “When you make your neighbor a loan of any kind, you shall not go into the house to take the pledge. 11 You shall wait outside while the person to whom you are making the loan brings the pledge out to you. 12 If the person is poor, you shall not sleep in the garment given you as[a] the pledge. 13 You shall give the pledge back by sunset, so that your neighbor may sleep in the cloak and bless you, and it will be to your credit before the Lord your God.(A)
