Deuteronomy 24:13

Consideration For People In Need

¹² Furthermore, if it be a poor body, go not to sleep with his pledge: ¹³ but deliver him the pledge again by that the sun go down, and let him sleep in his own raiment and bless thee. And it shall be righteousness unto thee, before the LORD thy God. ¹⁴ Thou shalt not defraud a hired servant that is needy and poor, whether he be of thy brethren or a stranger that is in thy land within thy cities.
