DEUTERONOMY 24:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:”
You shall not withhold the wages of poor and needy laborers, whether other Israelites or aliens residing in your land — wage theft is explicitly prohibited; both Israelite and alien workers have the same protection. The prompt payment of wages honors the laborer's dignity and need.
