⁹ Honor Yahweh from your substance,^[a]
    and from the firstfruits of all that will come to you,
¹⁰ and your barns shall be full of plenty,
    and your vats shall burst with new wine.

²⁷ Do not withhold good from its owner^[a]
    when it is in the power of your hand to do.
²⁸ Do not say to your neighbor,
    “Go and return and tomorrow I will give it,”
    when it is with you.^[b]

²⁴ There is one who gives yet grows richer,^[a]
    but he who withholds what is right^[b] only finds need.
²⁵ A person of blessing will be enriched,
    and he who gives water also will be refreshed.

²⁶ All day^[a] he craves a craving,
    but the righteous will give and not hold back.

⁹ He who is generous^[a] will be blessed,
    for he gives to the poor from his own bread.

⁶ Do not eat the bread of the stingy,^[a]
    and do not desire his delicacies.

¹⁴ Like clouds and wind when there is no rain,
    so too is a man who boasts in a gift of deception.

²¹ If your enemy is hungry, feed him bread,
    and if thirsty, let him drink water.
²² For coals of fire you will heap upon his head,
    and Yahweh will reward you.

²⁷ For he who gives to the poor, there is no lacking,
    but for he^[a] who turns his eyes, there are many curses.
