Deuteronomy 15:7-9

7“If there is 1a poor person among 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 fully open your hand to him, and generously lend him enough for his need in whatever he lacks.

9Be careful that there is no mean-spirited 5thought in your heart, 6such as, ‘7The seventh year, the year of release of debts, is near,’ and 8your eye is malicious toward your poor brother, and you give him nothing; then he 9may cry out to the Lord against you, and it will be a sin in you.
