But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even your own brothers!
that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you.
For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.
Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.
You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’”
“Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.
They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them away; they oppress a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
“You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired worker shall not remain with you all night until the morning.
