2 Samuel 12:6

In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

“If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

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

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.

One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.

“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”

Take no interest from him or profit; but fear your God, that your brother may live among you.

When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.

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

As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool.

if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he will surely live. He will not die.

Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.

Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”

But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?

“If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not charge him interest.

He shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong regarding the holy thing, and shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and he will be forgiven.

The Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, as well as the foreigner living among you, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives that you have taken captive from your brothers, for the fierce wrath of Yahweh is on you.”

He will restore that for which he labored, and will not swallow it down. He will not rejoice according to the substance that he has gotten.

Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.

He who despises his neighbor sins, but he who has pity on the poor is blessed.

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

Cast your bread on the waters; for you shall find it after many days.

Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.

So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”

“The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.

He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”

I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.

For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

or any thing about which he has sworn falsely: he shall restore it in full, and shall add a fifth part more to it. He shall return it to him to whom it belongs in the day of his being found guilty.

then he shall confess his sin which he has done; and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.

If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.

he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.

With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.

so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.

but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house.

All the relatives of the poor shun him: how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.

An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning, won’t be blessed in the end.

He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.

For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

“Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?

he who hasn’t lent to them with interest, hasn’t taken any increase from them, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,

has lent with interest, and has taken increase from the poor; shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood will be on him.

who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who hasn’t received interest or increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father. He shall surely live.

Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn’t retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.

“If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,

Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.

I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.

They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.

For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,

Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They plundered the Egyptians.

If the sun has risen on him, he is guilty of bloodshed. He shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.

“If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double.

For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, ‘This is mine,’ the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.

Here I am. Witness against me before Yahweh, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Of whose hand have I taken a bribe to make me blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”

Please restore to them, even today, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you are charging them.”

His children will seek the favor of the poor. His hands will give back his wealth.

Where no oxen are, the crib is clean, but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

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

A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.

Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;

Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
