On Lending and Borrowing
29 The merciful lend to their neighbors;
by holding out a helping hand they keep the commandments.(A)
2 Lend to your neighbor in his time of need;
repay your neighbor when a loan falls due.(B)
3 Keep your word and be honest with him,
and on every occasion you will find what you need.
