DEUTERONOMY 24:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee.”
You shall pay them their wages on the same day before the sun sets, for they are poor and their livelihood depends on it; otherwise they might cry out to the LORD against you, and you would incur guilt — same-day payment is required; the poor cannot wait. The cry (tze'akah) of the oppressed reaches God's ears; wage theft invokes divine judgment.
