Deuteronomy 24:14-32

Do not take advantage of a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether that worker is a fellow Israelite or a foreigner residing in one of your towns. 

Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.

Do not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge. 

When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow.

Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I command you to do this.

No one may be punished for another's offense; no parents for their children nor children for the parents. Ruth and Naomi were just two of the widows and foreigners who benefited from the harvesting rules spelt out in verses 19-22.

Why?

Love the poor and needy and foreigner and widows for we are children of the Lord. God is love so we should love the weak and needy people.

Sin is a personal consequence, so parents are not to be put to death for their children, so as to reverse.

Foreigners and fatherless have no protection from their relatives, need our justice and love.

照顧弱勢者：顧主先支付薪水，顧工就可以用心來幫助顧主工作。這也是主工作的方式，主先賞賜我們永生，給我們恩典，然後才要求我們遵行主的話語。當人願意遵行時神必不會虧負我們。

積極面照顧孩兒寡婦。忘記禾綑就不去拿，收割時田的一角留給其他人收。讓困苦窮乏的人，憑自己勞力得到供應，活的有尊嚴！

照顧孤兒寡婦也要憑公義審判，不可忽略，犯罪的人自己要傳代價，即使孤兒寡婦犯罪不能因為愛而忽略！
