Psalms 112:5 Cross References - Brenton

^{5 (111:5)} The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

⁷ And if there shall be in the midst of thee a poor man of thy brethren in one of thy cities in the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, neither shalt thou by any means close up thine hand from thy brother who is in want. ⁸ Thou shalt surely open thine hands to him, and shalt lend to him as much as he wants according to his need. ⁹ Take heed to thyself that there be not a secret thing in thine heart, an iniquity, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, draws nigh; and thine eye shall be evil to thy brother that is in want, and thou shalt not give to him, and he shall cry against thee to the Lord, and there shall be great sin in thee. ¹⁰ Thou shalt surely give to him, and thou shalt lend him as much as he wants, according as he is in need; and thou shalt not grudge in thine heart as thou givest to him, because on this account the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy works, and in all things on which thou shalt lay thine hand.

¹⁶ But the helpless missed not whatever need they had, and I did not cause the eye of the widow to fail. ¹⁷ And if too I ate my morsel alone, and did not impart of it to the orphan; ¹⁸ (for I nourished them as a father from my youth and guided them from my mother's womb.) ¹⁹ And if too I overlooked the naked as he was perishing, and did not clothe him; ²⁰ and if the poor did not bless me, and their shoulders were not warmed with the fleece of my lambs;

³⁰ A foolish man is like a farm, and a senseless man is like a vineyard. ³¹ If thou let him alone, he will altogether remain barren and covered with weeds; and he becomes destitute, and his stone walls are broken down. ³² Afterwards I reflected, I looked that I might receive instruction. ³³ The sluggard says, I slumber a little, and I sleep a little, and for a little while I fold my arms across my breast. ³⁴ But if thou do this, thy poverty will come speedily; and thy want like a swift courier.
