⁷ “If there is ^(A)a poor man with 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 freely open your hand to him, and shall generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks. ⁹ Beware that there is no base ^[b]thought in your heart, saying, ‘^(D)The seventh year, the year of remission, is near,’ and ^(E)your eye is hostile toward your poor brother, and you give him nothing; then he ^(F)may cry to the Lord against you, and it will be a sin in you.
