Deuteronomy 24:15 in Context — Deuteronomy 24

13 tu le lui rendras au coucher du soleil, afin qu’il couche dans son vêtement et qu’il te bénisse; et cela te sera imputé à justice devant l’Éternel, ton Dieu.

14 Tu n’opprimeras point le mercenaire, pauvre et indigent, qu’il soit l’un de tes frères, ou l’un des étrangers demeurant dans ton pays, dans tes portes.

15 Tu lui donneras le salaire de sa journée avant le coucher du soleil; car il est pauvre, et il lui tarde de le recevoir. Sans cela, il crierait à l’Éternel contre toi, et tu te chargerais d’un péché.

16 On ne fera point mourir les pères pour les enfants, et l’on ne fera point mourir les enfants pour les pères; on fera mourir chacun pour son péché.

17 Tu ne porteras point atteinte au droit de l’étranger et de l’orphelin, et tu ne prendras point en gage le vêtement de la veuve.
