* When thou dost lend thy brother any thing , thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge . * Thou shalt stand abroad , and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee . * And if the man be poor , thou shalt not sleep with his pledge : * In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down , that he may sleep in his own raiment , and bless thee : and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God . * Thou shalt not oppress an 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 : * At his 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 unto thee . * 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 . * Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger , nor of the fatherless ; nor take a widow 's raiment to pledge : * But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt , and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence : therefore I command thee to do this thing . * When thou cuttest down thine 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 stranger , for the fatherless , and for the widow : that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands . * When thou beatest thine olive tree , thou shalt not go over the boughs again : it shall be for the stranger , for the fatherless , and for the widow . * When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard , thou shalt not glean it afterward : it shall be for the stranger , for the fatherless , and for the widow . * And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt : therefore I command thee to do this thing .
