6 For the Lord your God will bless you just as He promised you; ayou shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.
Generosity to the Poor
7 “If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the1 gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, ayou shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother,
8 but ayou shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs.
9 Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,’ and your aeye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and bhe cry out to the Lord against you, and cit become sin among you.
10 You shall surely give to him, and ayour heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because bfor this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand.
11 For athe poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall1 open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’
