Take care lest there be an unworthy thought in your heart and you say, ‘The seventh year, the year of release is near,’ and your (A)eye look grudgingly[a] on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he (B)cry to the Lord against you, and (C)you be guilty of sin. 10 You shall give to him freely, and (D)your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because (E)for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. 11 For (F)there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, (G)‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’
