Read in context

Deuteronomy 24:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 You are to stand outside while the man to whom you are lending brings the security out to you.

12 If he is a poor man, you must not go to sleep with the security in your possession;

13 be sure to return it to him by sunset, so that he may sleep in his own cloak and bless you, and this will be credited to you as righteousness before the LORD your God.

14 Do not oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.

15 You are to pay his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and depends on them. Otherwise he may cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
