Deuteronomy 24:17-22
Legacy Standard Bible
17 “(A)You shall not pervert the justice [a]due a sojourner or [b]an orphan, nor (B)take a widow’s garment in pledge. 18 But you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt and that Yahweh your God redeemed you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.
19 “(C)When you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be (D)for the sojourner, for the [c]orphan, and for the widow, in order that Yahweh your God (E)may bless you in all the work of your hands. 20 (F)When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs after you finish; it shall be (G)for the sojourner, for the [d]orphan, and for the widow.
21 “When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it after you finish; it shall be for the sojourner, for the [e]orphan, and for the widow. 22 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.

Deuteronomy 24:17-22
American Standard Version
17 Thou shalt not wrest the justice due to the sojourner, or to the fatherless, nor take the widow’s raiment to pledge; 18 but thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and Jehovah thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19 When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands. 20 When thou beatest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it after thee: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
