Deuteronomy 15:9-11
New Living Translation
9 Do not be mean-spirited and refuse someone a loan because the year for canceling debts is close at hand. If you refuse to make the loan and the needy person cries out to the Lord, you will be considered guilty of sin. 10 Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do. 11 There will always be some in the land who are poor. That is why I am commanding you to share freely with the poor and with other Israelites in need.

Deuteronomy 15:9-11
New International Version
9 Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: “The seventh year, the year for canceling debts,(A) is near,” so that you do not show ill will(B) toward the needy among your fellow Israelites and give them nothing. They may then appeal to the Lord against you, and you will be found guilty of sin.(C) 10 Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart;(D) then because of this the Lord your God will bless(E) you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. 11 There will always be poor people(F) in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.(G)
