NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ »This is what you must do whenever there are poor Israelites in one of your cities in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you. ⁸ »Be generous to these poor people. Freely lend them as much as they need. Never be hardhearted and stingy with them. ⁹ »When the seventh year, the year when payments on debts are canceled, is near, you might be stingy toward poor Israelites and give them nothing. Be careful not to think these worthless thoughts. The poor will complain to Jehovah about you, and you will be condemned for your sin. ¹⁰ »Give the poor what they need, because then Jehovah will make you successful in everything you do. ¹¹ »There will always be some Israelites who are poor and needy. That is why I am commanding you to be generous with them. ¹² »If you buy Israelites (your own brothers) as slaves, you must set them free after six years. ¹³ »Do not send him away empty handed when you set him free. ¹⁴ »Supply him liberally from your flock and from your threshing floor and from your wine vat. Give to him as Jehovah your God has blessed you.
