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.

17 (A)“You shall not pervert justice due the stranger or the fatherless, (B)nor take a widow’s garment as a pledge. 18 But (C)you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this thing.
19 (D)“When you reap your harvest in your field, and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that the Lord your God may (E)bless you in all the work of your hands. 20 When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow. 21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow. 22 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.
