12 And if he is a needy man, you shall not sleep in his pledge.[a] 13 You shall certainly return the pledge to him as the sun sets,[b] so that he may sleep in his cloak and may bless you, and it shall be considered righteousness on your behalf[c] before[d] Yahweh your God.
14 “You shall not exploit a hired worker, who is needy and poor, from among your fellow men or from among your aliens[e] who are in your land and in your towns.[f]
