Deuteronomy 24:17-21 Good News Bible (GNB)

17. “Do not deprive foreigners and orphans of their rights; and do not take a widow's garment as security for a loan.

18. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God set you free; that is why I have given you this command.

19. “When you gather your crops and fail to bring in some of the corn that you have cut, do not go back for it; it is to be left for the foreigners, orphans, and widows, so that the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.

20. When you have picked your olives once, do not go back and get those that are left; they are for the foreigners, orphans, and widows.

21. When you have gathered your grapes once, do not go back over the vines a second time; the grapes that are left are for the foreigners, orphans, and widows.
