Deuteronomy 24:6-16

6 the former husband who sent her away shall not be able to return and take her to himself for a wife, after she has been defiled; because it is an abomination before the Lord thy God, and ye shall not defile the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit.
7 And if any one should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any thing be laid upon him; he shall be free in his house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.
8 Thou shalt not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper millstone; for he who does so takes life for a pledge.
9 And if a man should be caught stealing one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief shall die; so shalt thou remove that evil one from yourselves.
10 Take heed to thyself in the plague of leprosy: thou shalt take great heed to do according to all the law, which the priests the Levites shall report to you; take heed to do, as I have charged you.
11 Remember all that the Lord thy God did to Mariam in the way, when ye were going out of Egypt.
12 If thy neighbour owe thee a debt, any debt whatsoever, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge:
13 thou shalt stand without, and the man who is in thy debt shall bring the pledge out to thee.
14 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge.
15 Thou shalt surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless thee; and it shall be mercy to thee before the Lord thy God.
16 Thou shalt not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of thy brethren, or of the strangers who are in thy cities.
