But thou shalt pay him the price of his labour the same day, before the going down of the sun, because he is poor, and with it maintaineth his life: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it be reputed to thee for a sin.

non occidentur patres pro filiis nec filii pro patribus sed unusquisque pro suo peccato morietur
