Deuteronomy 15:7-11

7“If there is 1a poor man with you, one of your brothers, in any of your 2towns in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, 3you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand from your poor brother; 8but 4you shall freely open your hand to him, and shall generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks. 9Beware that there is no base 5thought in your heart, saying, ‘6The seventh year, the year of remission, is near,’ and 7your eye is hostile toward your poor brother, and you give him nothing; then he 8may cry to the Lord against you, and it will be a sin in you. 10You shall generously give to him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because 9for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all 10your undertakings. 1111For the poor will never cease to be 12in the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall freely open your hand to your brother, to your needy and poor in your land.’
