Deuteronomy 15:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷ “If there is ^(A)a poor person among you, one of your brothers, in any of your ^[a]towns in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, ^(B)you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand from your poor brother; ⁸ but ^(C)you shall fully open your hand to him, and generously lend him enough for his need in whatever he lacks. ⁹ Be careful that there is no mean-spirited ^[b]thought in your heart, ^[c]such as, ‘^(D)The seventh year, the year of release of debts, is near,’ and ^(E)your eye is malicious toward your poor brother, and you give him nothing; then he ^(F)may cry out to the Lord against you, and it will be a sin in you.
