Deuteronomy 24:14-15
““You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers, or one of your foreigners who are in your land within your gates. You shall give him his wages in his day, and the sun shall not go down on it, for he is poor, and sets his heart on it; lest he cry against you to Yahweh, and it be sin to you.””
This passage comes from the book of Deuteronomy, presented as Moses' farewell speeches to the Israelites before they enter the promised land. It lays out laws and ethical guidelines for how they are to live as a community, with a strong emphasis on justice and care for the vulnerable.
