¹⁰ and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in darkness, and thine obscurity be as the noonday;

⁷ Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

⁸ Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of Jehovah shall by thy rearward.

⁶ And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, And thy justice as the noon-day.

¹⁷ And `thy' life shall be clearer than the noonday; Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.

¹⁶ And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them.

³¹ He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he that hath mercy on the needy honoreth him.

²⁴ There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but `it tendeth' only to want.

²⁵ The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

²² And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

¹⁸ And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

²⁷ He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; But he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

⁵ Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

⁶ For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

⁷ He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

⁸ His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see `his desire' upon his adversaries.

⁹ He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor.

¹ Blessed is he that considereth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

⁷ 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;

⁸ but thou shalt surely open thy hand unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need `in that' which he wanteth.

⁹ Beware that there be not a base thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou give him nought; and he cry unto Jehovah against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

¹⁰ Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou puttest thy hand unto.
