## Deuteronomy 24:18 in Context (Verses 15–21 KJV)
 
 [15 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/24/15) 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.*
 
 [16 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/24/16) The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/24/17) ¶ Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, *nor* of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge:
 
 [18 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/24/18) But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/24/19) ¶ When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/24/20) When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.*
 
 [21 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/24/21) When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean *it* afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.*
