^11 (A)For the poor will not cease ^[a]to exist in the land; therefore I am commanding you, saying, ‘You shall fully open your hand to your brother, to your needy and poor in your land.’

⁷ For you always have ^(A)the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.
