²⁷ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

²⁸ Say not unto thy neighbor, “Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give,” when thou hast it with thee.

²⁴ There is one that scattereth and yet prospereth; and there is another that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

²⁵ The liberal soul shall prosper, and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

²⁶ He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessings shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

²² A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children, and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

²¹ He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth, but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

¹⁶ A man’s gift maketh room for him and bringeth him before great men.

¹⁷ He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord, and that which he hath given, He will repay him again.

¹³ Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall himself cry, but shall not be heard.

⁹ He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed, for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

¹⁴ Whoso boasteth himself of his gifts falsely is like clouds and wind without rain.

²⁷ He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack, but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
