Deuteronomy 24:17

Consideration For People In Need

¹⁶ The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, neither shall the sons be put to death for the fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin. ¹⁷ You shall not pervert the rightful judgment of the stranger nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's clothing to pledge. ¹⁸ But you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Jehovah your God redeemed you from there. Therefore I command you to do this thing.
