2 Corinthians 9:6-9
English Standard Version
The Cheerful Giver
6 The point is this: (A)whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully[a] will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, (B)not reluctantly or under compulsion, for (C)God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And (D)God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency[b] in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. 9 As it is written,
(E)“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”

and on noble things he stands.
Isaiah 58:7-11
English Standard Version
7 Is it not (A)to share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
(B)and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 (C)Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
(D)and your healing shall spring up speedily;
(E)your righteousness shall go before you;
(F)the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away (G)the yoke from your midst,
(H)the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 (I)if you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
(J)then shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
11 And the Lord will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be (K)like a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.
Job 29:13-18
English Standard Version
13 (A)The blessing of him who was (B)about to perish came upon me,
and I caused (C)the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 I (D)put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
my justice was like a robe and (E)a turban.
15 I was (F)eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the needy,
and I searched out (G)the cause of him whom I did not know.
17 I (H)broke (I)the fangs of the unrighteous
and made him drop his prey from his teeth.
18 (J)Then I thought, ‘I shall die in my (K)nest,
and I shall multiply my days as (L)the sand,

Job 31:16-20
English Standard Version
16 “If I have (A)withheld anything that the poor desired,
or have (B)caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17 or have eaten my morsel alone,
and the fatherless has not eaten of it
18 (for from my youth the fatherless[a] grew up with me as with a father,
and from my mother's womb I guided the widow[b]),
19 if I have seen anyone (C)perish for (D)lack of clothing,
or the needy without (E)covering,
20 if his body has not (F)blessed me,[c]
and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
