Deuteronomy 24:17-19
New American Standard Bible
17 “(A)You shall not pervert the justice [a]due a stranger or [b]an orphan, nor (B)seize a widow’s garment as a [c]pledge. 18 But you are to remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and that the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.
19 “(C)When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you are not to go back to get it; it shall belong (D)to the stranger, the [d]orphan, and to the widow, in order that the Lord your God (E)may bless you in all the work of your hands.

New International Version
17 Do not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless(A) of justice,(B) or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge. 18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt(C) and the Lord your God redeemed you from there. That is why I command you to do this.
19 When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it.(D) Leave it for the foreigner,(E) the fatherless and the widow,(F) so that the Lord your God may bless(G) you in all the work of your hands.
