The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

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

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
