Exodus 1:20

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

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.’”

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

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

Yahweh is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

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

This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.

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

He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn’t allow their livestock to decrease.

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