* If there be among you a poor man of one of your brethren within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you , you shall not harden yours heart , nor shut yours hand from your poor brother : * But you shall open yours hand wide unto him , and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need , in that which he wants . * Beware that there be not a thought in your wicked heart , saying , The seventh year , the year of release , is at hand ; and yours eye be evil against your poor brother , and you give him nothing ; and he cry unto the LORD against you , and it be sin unto you . * You shall surely give him , and yours heart shall not be grieved when you give unto him : because that for this thing the LORD your God shall bless you in all your works , and in all that you put yours hand unto . * For the poor shall never cease out of the land : therefore I command you , saying , You shall open yours hand wide unto your brother , to your poor , and to your needy , in your land .
