10¶ When thou doest lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not goe into his house to fetch his pledge. 11Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whome thou doest lend, shall bring out the pledge abroad vnto thee. 12And if the man be poore, thou shalt not sleepe with his pledge: 13In any case thou shalt deliuer him the pledge againe when the Sun goeth downe, that he may sleepe in his owne raiment, and blesse thee: and it shall be righteousnesse vnto thee before the Lord thy God. 14¶ Thou shalt not oppresse an hired seruant that is poore and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy lande within thy gates.
