¹⁰ When you make a loan of any kind to your neighbor, do not go into their house to get what is offered to you as a pledge.^{(A) 11} Stay outside and let the neighbor to whom you are making the loan bring the pledge out to you. ¹² If the neighbor is poor, do not go to sleep with their pledge^(B) in your possession. ¹³ Return their cloak by sunset^(C) so that your neighbor may sleep in it.^(D) Then they will thank you, and it will be regarded as a righteous act in the sight of the Lord your God.^(E)

¹⁴ Do not take advantage of a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether that worker is a fellow Israelite or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.^{(F) 15} Pay them their wages each day before sunset, because they are poor^(G) and are counting on it.^(H) Otherwise they may cry to the Lord against you, and you will be guilty of sin.^(I)

¹⁶ Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.^(J)

¹⁷ Do not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless^(K) of justice,^(L) or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge. ¹⁸ Remember that you were slaves in Egypt^(M) and the Lord your God redeemed you from there. That is why I command you to do this.

⁶ Do not take a pair of millstones—not even the upper one—as security for a debt, because that would be taking a person’s livelihood as security.^(A)
