Deuteronomy 15:7-11

7 “If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, ^ayou shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, 8 but ^byou shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be. 9 Take care lest there be an unworthy thought in your heart and you say, ‘The seventh year, the year of release is near,’ and your ^ceye look grudgingly ^{▼▼Or be evil; also verse 10} on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he ^ecry to the Lord against you, and ^fyou be guilty of sin. 10 You shall give to him freely, and ^gyour heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because ^hfor this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. 11 For ⁱthere will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ^j‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’
