Deuteronomy 24:17

Consideration For People In Need

¹⁶ Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers -- each for his own sin, they are put to death. ¹⁷ 'Thou dost not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take in pledge the garment of a widow; ¹⁸ and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in Egypt, and Jehovah thy God doth ransom thee from thence; therefore I am commanding thee to do this thing.
