Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.

When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
