*
Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart ,
saying ,
The seventh year ,
the year of release ,
is at hand ;
and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother ,
and thou givest him nought ;
and he cry unto the LORD against thee ,
and it be sin unto thee .
*
Thou shalt surely give him ,
and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him :
because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works ma #
aseh #,
and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto .
*
For the poor shall never cease out of the land :
therefore I command thee ,
saying ,
Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother ,
to thy poor ,
and to thy needy ,
in thy land .
