¹⁵ in his day you shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun 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.

⁴ Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts.

¹³ "'You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning.

¹³ Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by injustice; who uses his neighbor's service without wages, and doesn't give him his hire;

⁹ Beware that there not be a base thought in your heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to Yahweh against you, and it be sin to you.

²⁸ Don't say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again, Tomorrow I will give it to you," When you have it by you.

¹¹ For their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.

²² Don't exploit the poor, because he is poor; And don't crush the needy in court;

⁴ Bring joy to the soul of your servant, For to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

¹ > To you, Yahweh, do I lift up my soul.

⁴ He who has clean hands and a pure heart; Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, And has not sworn deceitfully.
