does not oppress anyone, exacts no pledge, commits no robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with a garment,
does not oppress anyone, but restores to the debtor his pledge, commits no robbery, gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with a garment,
But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.
Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what disaster may happen on earth.
She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.
If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,
Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;
if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, or the needy without covering,
You have given no water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
