Job 31:16-22

16 “If I have ^awithheld anything that the poor desired,
or have ^bcaused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17 or have eaten my morsel alone,
and the fatherless has not eaten of it
18 (for from my youth the fatherless ^{▼▼Hebrew he} grew up with me as with a father,
and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow ^{▼▼Hebrew her}),
19 if I have seen anyone ^eperish for ^flack of clothing,
or the needy without ^gcovering,
20 if his body has not ^hblessed me, ^{▼▼Hebrew if his loins have not blessed me}
and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against ^jthe fatherless,
because I saw my help in ^kthe gate,
22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,
and let my arm be broken from its socket.

Proverbs 11:24-25

24 ^lOne gives ^mfreely, yet grows all the richer;
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
25 ⁿWhoever brings blessing ^owill be enriched,
and ^pone who waters will himself be watered.

Isaiah 32:8

8 But he who is noble plans noble things,
and on noble things he stands.

Isaiah 58:7

7 Is it not ^qto share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
^rand not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

Isaiah 58:10-11

10 ^sif you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
^tthen shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
11 And the Lord will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be ^ulike a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.

Luke 14:12-14

The Parable of the Great Banquet

12 He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give ^va dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers ^{▼▼Or your brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to brothers or to brothers and sisters} or your relatives or rich neighbors, ^xlest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, ^yinvite ^zthe poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid ^aaat ^abthe resurrection of the just.”
