Deuteronomy 24:17

Consideration For People In Need

¹⁶ The fathers shall not die for the children nor the children for the fathers: but every man shall die for his own sin. ¹⁷ Hinder not the right of the stranger nor of the fatherless, nor take widow's raiment to pledge. ¹⁸ But remember that thou wast a servant in Egypt, and how the LORD thy God delivered thee thence. Wherefore I command thee to do this thing.
