Deuteronomy 15:7-9

7“IfH3588 there is 1a poorH34 personH34 among you, oneH259 of your brothersH251, in anyH259 of your 2townsH8179 in your landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you, 3you shall not hardenH553 your heartH3824, norH3808 closeH7092 your handH3027 from your poorH34 brotherH251;

8but 4you shall fullyH6605 openH6605 your handH3027 to him, and generouslyH5670 lendH5670 him enoughH1767 for his needH4270 in whateverH834 he lacksH2637.

9BeH8104 carefulH8104 thatH6435 there is noH6435 mean-spiritedH1100 5thoughtH1697 in your heartH3824, 6suchH559 asH559, ‘7The seventhH7651 yearH8141, the yearH8141 of releaseH8059 ofH8059 debtsH8059, is nearH7126,’ and 8your eyeH5869 isH7489 maliciousH7489 toward your poorH34 brotherH251, and you giveH5414 him nothingH3808; then he 9may cryH7121 outH7121 to the LordH3068 againstH5921 you, and it will be a sinH2399 in you.
