Deuteronomy 24: 10 When thou dost lend thy neighbour any manner of loan, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
Deuteronomy 24: 11 Thou shalt stand without, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring forth the pledge without unto thee.
Deuteronomy 24: 12 And if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge;
Deuteronomy 24: 13 thou shalt surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless thee; and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy 24: 14 Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates.
Deuteronomy 24: 15 In the same day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD and it be sin in thee.
Deuteronomy 24: 16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers; every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Deuteronomy 24: 17 Thou shalt not pervert the justice due to the stranger, or to the fatherless; nor take the widow's raiment to pledge.
