That scattereth

The wicked earns {deceptive gain}, but he who sows righteousness, a {true reward}.

He who lends to Yahweh [is] he who is kind to the poor, and his benefits he will repay to him.

He who augments his wealth with interest and with usury gathers it for him who is kind to the poor.

By all means you must give to him, and {you must not be discontented} at your giving to him, because on account of this [very] thing, Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work and {in all that you undertake}.

{He gives lavishly} to the needy; his righteousness endures forever. His horn rises high in honor.

Send out your bread on the water, for in many days you will find it.

Give, and it will be given to you, a good measure--pressed down, shaken, overflowing--they will pour out into your lap. For with the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you in return."

So from the disciples, {according to their ability to give}, each one of them determined to send [financial aid] for support to the brothers who lived in Judea,

Therefore I considered [it] necessary to urge the brothers that they should go on ahead to you and make arrangements in advance for your generous gift that was promised previously, so this would be prepared as a generous gift and not as grudgingly granted.

But

You have sown much but have harvested little. You have eaten without [being] satisfied; {you have drunk without being satiated}; you have worn clothes without [being] warm; the one who earns wages puts it in {a pouch with holes}.'

{from that time when} one came to a heap of twenty [measures], there were [only] ten, and [when] one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures, there were [only] twenty.

General references

And when you reap the harvest of your land, you must not finish the edge of your field at your reaping, and you must not glean the remnants of your harvest--you shall leave them behind for the needy and for the alien; I [am] Yahweh your God.'"

and your barns shall be full of plenty, and your vats shall burst [with] new wine.

Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
