Deuteronomy 15:7-9

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.
