²⁷ Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due
    when it is within your power to give it.
²⁸ Do not say to your neighbor,
“Go away! Come back some other time.
I will give something to you tomorrow,”
when in fact it is already with you right now.

²⁴ One person scatters his wealth, but it still increases.
Another hoards it unjustly, but this leads only to poverty.
²⁵ A person who spreads blessings will be enriched.
One who gives a refreshing drink will be refreshed.

²⁶ All day long he craves something more,
but a righteous person gives and does not hold back.

⁹ A generous person will be blessed,
because he gives some of his food to the poor.

¹⁴ A person who brags about a gift that is never given
    is like clouds and wind that bring no rain.

²¹ If your enemy is hungry, give him something to eat.
If he is thirsty, give him something to drink,
²² because you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the Lord will repay you.

²⁷ A person who gives to the poor will lack nothing,
but a person who closes his eyes to them will receive many curses.
