New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 24:8-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

8. Be careful with an outbreak of leprosy, that you diligently observe and do according to all that the Levitical priests instruct you. As I have commanded them, so you must carefully do.

9. Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the way, after you came out of Egypt.

10. When you do lend your brother anything, you may not go into his house to take his pledge.

11. You must stand outside, and the man to whom you lend must bring the pledge outside to you.

12. If the man is poor, you may not sleep with his pledge.

13. In any case, you must return the pledge to him when the sun goes down, so that he may sleep in his own cloak and bless you, and it will be righteousness to you before the Lord your God.

14. You may not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of your foreigners who are in your land within your towns.

15. You must give him his wages on that very day before the sun sets, for he is poor, and sets his heart on it, lest he cry against you to the Lord, and it be a sin to you.
