¹⁷ He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

¹³ Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

⁹ He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

¹⁴ Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.

²⁷ He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

²³ Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.

³¹ He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

¹⁵ All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

⁸ Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

¹⁶ He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
