Deuteronomy 15:9-11

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁹ Be careful that there isn’t this wicked thought in your heart, “The seventh year, the year of cancelling debts, is near,” and you are stingy towards your poor brother and give him nothing. He will cry out to the Lord against you, and you will be guilty. ¹⁰ Give to him, and don’t have a stingy heart^[a] when you give, and because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you do.^{[b] 11} For there will never cease to be poor people in the land;^(A) that is why I am commanding you, “Open your hand willingly to your poor and needy brother in your land.”
