14 'Thou dost not oppress a hireling, poor and needy, of thy brethren or of thy sojourner who is in thy land within thy gates; 15 in his day thou dost give his hire, and the sun doth not go in upon it, for he 'is' poor, and unto it he is lifting up his soul, and he doth not cry against thee unto Jehovah, and it hath been in thee—sin.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:14-15
Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:14-22
(Read Deuteronomy 24:14-22)
