⁹ Honor the Lord with your substance,
    and with the first fruits of all your increase;
¹⁰ so your barns will be filled with plenty,
    and your presses will burst out with new wine.

²⁷ Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
    when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
²⁸ Do not say to your neighbor,
    “Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give it,”
    when you have it with you.

²⁴ There is one who scatters, yet increases;
    and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty.

²⁵ The generous soul will be made rich,
    and he who waters will be watered also himself.

²⁶ He covets greedily all the day long,
    but the righteous gives and does not spare.

⁹ He who has a bountiful eye will be blessed,
    for he gives of his bread to the poor.

²¹ If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;
    and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
²² for you will heap coals of fire upon his head,
    and the Lord will reward you.

²⁷ He who gives to the poor will not lack,
    but he who hides his eyes will have many a curse.
