Deuteronomy 24:10-15
Lexham English Bible

10 “When you make a loan to your neighbor, a loan of any kind, you shall not go into his house to take his pledge.[a] 11 You shall wait outside, and the man to whom you are lending, he shall bring the pledge outside to you. 12 And if he is a needy man, you shall not sleep in his pledge.[b] 13 You shall certainly return the pledge to him as the sun sets,[c] so that he may sleep in his cloak and may bless you, and it shall be considered righteousness on your behalf[d] before[e] Yahweh your God.

14 “You shall not exploit a hired worker, who is needy and poor, from among your fellow men or from among your aliens[f] who are in your land and in your towns.[g] 15 On his day you shall give his wage, and the sun shall not go down,[h] because he is poor and his life depends on it;[i] do this so that he does not cry out against you to Yahweh, and you incur guilt.[j]

Deuteronomy 24:10-15
New International Version

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)
