⁷ You haven't given water to the weary to drink, And you have withheld bread from the hungry.

¹⁷ Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless has not eaten of it

⁴² for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;

⁷ Isn't it to deal your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? when you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?

¹⁶ neither has wronged any, has not taken anything to pledge, neither has taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;

⁷ and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;

²⁰ Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head."

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

¹⁷ He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; He will reward him.

²⁴ There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

²⁵ The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.

⁹ He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

³¹ If the men of my tent have not said, 'Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?'

⁷ If there be with you a poor man, one of your brothers, 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;

⁸ but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need [in that] which he wants.

⁹ Beware that there not be a base thought in your heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to Yahweh against you, and it be sin to you.

¹⁰ You shall surely give him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him; because that for this thing Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work, and in all that you put your hand to.

¹¹ For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You shall surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.
