Deuteronomy 24:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ But thou shalt pay him the price of his labour the same day, before the going down of the sun, because he is poor, and with it maintaineth his life: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it be reputed to thee for a sin.

¹⁶ The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children for the fathers, but every one shall die for his own sin.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger nor of the fatherless, neither shalt thou take away the widow's raiment for a pledge.
