At his dayª thou shalt giveª° [him] his hire,ª neither¹ shall the sunª go downª° upon¹ it; for¹ he¹ [is] poor,ª and settethª°¹ his heartª upon¹ it: lest¹ he cryª° against¹ thee unto¹ the LORD,ª and it be¹ sinª unto thee." {Deu 24:14-15} + "If¹ I have eatenª° the fruitsª thereof without¹ money,ª or have caused the ownersª thereof to loseª° their life:ª" {Job 31:39} + "Woeª unto him that buildethª° his houseª by² unrighteousness,ª¹ and his chambersª by wrong;ª¹ [that] useth his neighbour'sª serviceª° without wages,ª and givethª° him not¹ for his work;ª" {Jer 22:13} + "And I will come nearª° to¹ you to judgment;ª and I will be¹ a swiftª° witnessª against the sorcerers,ª° and against the adulterers,ª° and against falseª swearers,ª° and against those that oppressª° the hirelingª in [his] wages,ª the widow,ª and the fatherless,ª and that turn asideª° the strangerª [from his right], and fearª° not¹ me, saithª° the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Mal 3:5} + "Behold,ª° the¹ hireª of the¹ labourersª who² have reaped downª° yourª fields,ª which² is ofª youª kept back by fraud,ª° crieth:ª° andª the¹ cries²¹ of them which have reapedª° are enteredª° intoª the¹ earsª of the Lordª of sabaoth.ª" {Jms 5:4}
