⁷ Thou causest not the weary to drink water, And from the hungry thou withholdest bread.

¹⁷ And I do eat my morsel by myself, And the orphan hath not eat of it,

⁴² for I did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink;

⁷ Is it not to deal to the hungry thy bread, And the mourning poor bring home, That thou seest the naked and cover him, And from thine own flesh hide not thyself?

¹⁶ A man -- he hath not oppressed, A pledge he hath not bound, And plunder he hath not taken away, His bread to the hungry he hath given, And the naked he covered with a garment,

⁷ A man -- he doth not oppress, His pledge to the debtor he doth return, Plunder he doth not take away, His bread to the hungry he doth give, And the naked doth cover with a garment,

²⁰ I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head;

¹⁰ And dost bring out to the hungry thy soul, And the afflicted soul dost satisfy, Then risen in the darkness hath thy light, And thy thick darkness `is' as noon.

¹⁷ Whoso is lending `to' Jehovah is favouring the poor, And his deed He repayeth to him.

²⁴ There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.

²⁵ A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered.

⁹ He hath scattered -- hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

³¹ If not -- say ye, O men of my tent, `O that we had of his flesh, we are not satisfied.'

⁷ `When there is with thee any needy one of one of thy brethren, in one of thy cities, in thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, thou dost not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother;

⁸ for thou dost certainly open thy hand to him, and dost certainly lend him sufficient for his lack which he lacketh.

⁹ `Take heed to thee lest there be a word in thy heart -- worthless, saying, Near `is' the seventh year, the year of release; and thine eye is evil against thy needy brother, and thou dost not give to him, and he hath called concerning thee unto Jehovah, and it hath been in thee sin;

¹⁰ thou dost certainly give to him, and thy heart is not sad in thy giving to him, for because of this thing doth Jehovah thy God bless thee in all thy works, and in every putting forth of thy hand;

¹¹ because the needy one doth not cease out of the land, therefore I am commanding thee, saying, Thou dost certainly open thy hand to thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy one, in thy land.
