Proverbs 28:27

¹⁷He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD; he will reward him.

¹Blessed is he who considers the poor. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil. ²The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies. ³The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

²⁴There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

⁷If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;

⁶Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. ⁷Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work. ⁹As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.”

¹⁰Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness, ¹¹you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.

⁵It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment. ⁶For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever. ⁷He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. ⁸His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries. ⁹He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

¹⁰You shall surely give, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because it is for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to.

⁹He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.

²⁶People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

¹⁵When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.
