Deuteronomy 24:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ You must pay him for his work every day before sunset. Remember that he is poor. He needs the money to stay alive. If you do not pay him, he may complain against you to the Lord. The Lord would say that you are guilty of a sin.

¹⁶ You must not punish fathers with death for the sins that their children do. You must not punish children with death for the sins that their fathers do. Each person must die only because of his own sins.

¹⁷ Remember to be completely fair to foreigners and to children who have no family. If you lend money to a widow, do not take her coat as a guarantee.
