…if I have eaten my morsel alone, not sharing it with the fatherless—
For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,
Isn’t it to share your bread with the hungry, to bring the poor and homeless into your home, to clothe the naked when you see him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
He does not oppress another, or retain a pledge, or commit robbery. He gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.
He does not oppress another, but restores the pledge to the debtor. He does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.
Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.
He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.
On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
…if the men of my house have not said, ‘Who is there who has not had his fill?’—
If there is a poor man among your brothers within any of the gates in the land that the LORD your God is giving you, then you are not to harden your heart or shut your hand from your poor brother.
…and if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will go forth in the darkness, and your night will be like noonday.
One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.
