Deuteronomy 24:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ Thou shalt not refuse the hire of the needy, and the poor, whether he be thy brother, or a stranger that dwelleth with thee in the land, and is within thy gates:

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.
