15 Each day ^ayou shall give him his wages, and not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and has set his heart on it; ^blest he cry out against you to the Lord, and it be sin to you.

16 ^a“Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin.

17 ^a“You shall not pervert justice due the stranger or the fatherless, ^bnor take a widow’s garment as a pledge.

18 But ^ayou 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 ^a“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 ^bbless 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.
