If there be with thee a poor man, one of thy brethren, within any of thy gates in thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy poor brother;
There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but (it tendeth) only to want.
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto Jehovah, And his good deed will he pay him again.
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.
But this (I say,) He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.
