TSK · Proverbs 11:17

He sucks the poison of serpents; the fangs of a viper kill him.

For the music director; a psalm of David. How blessed is the one who treats the poor properly! When trouble comes, may the LORD deliver him.

In the darkness a light shines for the godly, for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just.

A generous person will be blessed, for he has given some of his food to the poor.

A deceiver’s methods are evil; he dreams up evil plans to ruin the poor with lies, even when the needy are in the right.

I want you to share your food with the hungry and to provide shelter for homeless, oppressed people. When you see someone naked, clothe him! Don’t turn your back on your own flesh and blood!

Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you. Break away from your sins by doing what is right, and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps your prosperity will be prolonged.”

“For if you forgive others their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Give, and it will be given to you: A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be poured into your lap. For the measure you use will be the measure you receive.”

I do not say this because I am seeking a gift. Rather, I seek the credit that abounds to your account.

Warning to the Rich Come now, you rich! Weep and cry aloud over the miseries that are coming on you.
