²⁶ All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed `is' for a blessing.

⁵ Good `is' the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

²¹ The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.

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

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;

¹³ For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.

⁷ The righteous is walking habitually in his integrity, O the happiness of his sons after him!

³⁹ and I have given to them one heart, and one way, to fear Me all the days, for good to them, and to their sons after them:

⁷ `Happy the kind -- because they shall find kindness.

³⁵ `But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;

³⁶ be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.

³⁷ `And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released.

³⁸ `Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they shall give into your bosom; for with that measure with which ye measure, it shall be measured to you again.'
