¹⁴ At meal-time Boaz said to her, Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar. She sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was sufficed, and left of it.

¹⁸ She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.

¹² He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, don't call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

¹³ But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

¹⁴ and you will be blessed, because they don't have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."

²⁰ They all ate, and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.

⁴³ His servant said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? But he said, Give the people, that they may eat; for thus says Yahweh, They shall eat, and shall leave of it.

⁴⁴ So he set it before them, and they ate, and left of it, according to the word of Yahweh.

¹⁰ You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you.

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;

¹¹ and Yahweh will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make strong your bones; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters don't fail.

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?

⁸ But the noble devises noble things; and in noble things shall he continue.

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.

⁵ You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

¹⁶ "If I have withheld the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

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

¹⁸ (No, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, Her have I guided from my mother's womb);

¹⁹ If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;

²⁰ If his heart hasn't blessed me, If he hasn't been warmed with my sheep's fleece;

²¹ If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate:

²² Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, And my arm be broken from the bone.

²⁸ brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched [grain], and beans, and lentils, and parched [pulse],

¹⁸ Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

¹⁷ Jesse said to David his son, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry [them] quickly to the camp to your brothers;

¹⁵ I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you shall eat and be full.
