Deuteronomy 24:13-15
Lexham English Bible
13 You shall certainly return the pledge to him as the sun sets,[a] so that he may sleep in his cloak and may bless you, and it shall be considered righteousness on your behalf[b] before[c] 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[d] who are in your land and in your towns.[e] 15 On his day you shall give his wage, and the sun shall not go down,[f] because he is poor and his life depends on it;[g] do this so that he does not cry out against you to Yahweh, and you incur guilt.[h]
