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

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

The righteous care about justice for the poor. The wicked aren’t concerned about knowledge.

But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress.

For you always have the poor with you; but you don’t always have me.
