^27 (A)Do not withhold good from ^[a]those to whom it is due,
When it is in your hand to do it.
^28 (B)Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,”
When it is there with you.

²⁴ There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more,
And there is one who holds back what is rightly due, and yet results only in want.
²⁵ The soul ^[a]that ^(A)blesses will be ^[b]enriched,
And he who ^(B)waters will himself be watered.

^6 (A)Do not eat the bread of ^[a]a ^(B)selfish man,
And do not desire his delicacies;

¹⁴ Like ^(A)clouds and ^(B)wind without rain
Is a man who boasts ^[a]of his gifts falsely.

^21 (A)If ^[a]your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
²² For you will ^[b]heap burning coals on his head,
And ^(B)Yahweh will repay you.

²⁷ He who ^(A)gives to the poor will never want,
But he who ^[a]shuts his eyes will have many curses.
