Deuteronomy 24:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Don’t take advantage of any hired worker who is poor and needy. That applies to your own people. It also applies to outsiders living in one of your towns. ¹⁵ Give them their pay every day. They are poor and are counting on it. If you don’t pay them, they might cry out to the Lord against you. Then you will be guilty of committing a sin.

¹⁶ Parents must not be put to death because of what their children do. And children must not be put to death because of what their parents do. People must die because of their own sins.
