He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the righteous give and don’t withhold.

The rich and the poor have this in common: Yahweh is the maker of them all.

She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands to the needy.

Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight; for you don’t know what evil will be on the earth.

In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening don’t withhold your hand; for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.
