Bible References

His eye

{Take care} so that there will not be {a thought of wickedness} in your heart, {saying}, 'The seventh year, the year of the remission of debt is near,' {and you view your needy neighbor with hostility}, and [so] you [do] not give to him, and he might cry [out] against you to Yahweh, and {you would incur guilt against yourself}.

Do not eat the bread of {the stingy}, and do not desire his delicacies.

He who hurries for wealth is {a man with an evil eye}, but he does not know that poverty will come upon him.

Is it not permitted for me to do whatever I want with [what is] mine? Or is your eye evil because I am generous?'

And toward

but the poor [man] had nothing except for one small ewe lamb which he had bought. He had nurtured her, and she grew up with him and with his children together. She used to eat from his morsel and drink from his cup, and she used to lie in his lap and became like a daughter for him.

Do not put faith in a friend; put no trust in a close friend. Guard the doorways of your mouth from the one who lies in your lap.

His children

As a father pities [his] children, [so] Yahweh pities those who fear him.

Can a woman forget her suckling, [refrain] from having compassion on the child of her womb? Indeed, these may forget, but I, I will not forget you!

Or what man is [there] among you, [if] his son will ask him [for] bread, will give him a stone?

But what father from among you, [if his] son will ask for a fish, instead of a fish will give him a snake?

General references

And woe to those {who are pregnant} and to those who are nursing [their babies] in those days!
