Deuteronomy 15:7 in context

  1. 5if only you diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you today.
  2. 6For Yahweh your God will bless you, as he promised you. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. You will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.
  3. 7If 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;
  4. 8but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks.
  5. 9Beware that there not be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,” and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing; and he cry to Yahweh against you, and it be sin to you.
