10 You might make a loan to your neighbor. But don’t go into his house to get something in place of it.
11 Stay outside. Let the man himself go in and get what he promised you.
12 A poor man might give you his coat to show he will pay the loan back. But don’t keep his coat overnight.
13 Give his coat back to him at sunset. He needs his coat to sleep in. He will thank you. And the Lord your God will see that you have done a good thing.
14 Don’t cheat a hired servant who is poor and needy. He might be a fellow Israelite. Or he might be a foreigner living in one of your towns.
15 Pay him each day before sunset. He is poor and needs the money. Otherwise, he may complain to the Lord about you. And you will be guilty of sin.
16 Fathers must not be put to death when their children do wrong. And children must not be put to death when their fathers do wrong. Each person must die for his own sin.
