Deuteronomy 15:7-11

LEB(i) 7 If there is a poor person among you from among one of your brothers in one of your towns* that Yahweh your God is giving to you, you shall not harden your heart, and you shall not shut your hand toward your brother who is poor.* 8 But you shall certainly open your hand for him, and you shall willingly lend* to him enough to meet his need, whatever it is.* 9 Take care* so that there* will not be a thought of wickedness* in your heart, saying,* 'The seventh year, the year of the remission of debt is near,' and you view your needy neighbor with hostility,* and so you do not give to him, and he might cry out against you to Yahweh, and you would incur guilt against yourself.* 10 By all means you must give to him, and you must not be discontented* at your giving to him, because on account of this very thing, Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.* 11 For the poor* will not cease to be among you* in the land; therefore I am commanding you, saying,* 'You shall willingly open your hand to your brother, to your needy and to your poor that are in your land.'
