Proverbs 11:24

He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you who hear.

For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

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.’”

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow.

Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.

The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.

But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace.

As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.”

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Yahweh, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,” says Yahweh of Armies, “if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be room enough for.

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

Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase:

The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.

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

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

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

They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns. They have exhausted themselves, and profit nothing. You will be ashamed of your fruits, because of Yahweh’s fierce anger.”

The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.

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

Yahweh said to Aaron, “You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.

If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;

You may charge a foreigner interest; but you shall not your brother interest, that Yahweh your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.

Yahweh will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to. He will bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

You will carry much seed out into the field, and will gather little in, for the locust will consume it.

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

I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

One who is slack in his work is brother to him who is a master of destruction.

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

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.

Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty.

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.

how in much proof of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.

Not only so, but he was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.

that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

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?

Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;’ and don’t know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;

“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.

You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God: you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.

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.

Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.

People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.

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

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

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.

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.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.

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

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

They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned giving to Yahweh.

For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.

“You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says Yahweh of Armies, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.

“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.’

Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.

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.”

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.

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.

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

Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

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

He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.

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.”

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.

You shall surely give, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because it is for this thing Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to.

Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.

There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.

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

You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don’t have enough. You drink, but you aren’t filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.”

But Jesus said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

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.
