14 " You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy , whether he is one of your countrymen or one of your aliens who is in your land in your towns . 15 " You shall give him his wages on his day before the sun sets , for he is poor and sets his heart on it; so that he will not cry against you to the Lord and it become sin in you.
