Back to passage

If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;

Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.

There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

He who has a generous eye will be blessed; for he shares his food with the poor.

When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

But don't forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
