His eye

Beware that there is not a thought in your wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand, and your eye may be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing. And he may cry to Jehovah against you, and it is sin to you.

Do not eat the bread of him who has an evil eye, nor desire his dainty foods;

He who hastens to be rich has an evil eye, and does not know that poverty will come upon him.

Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with my own? Is your eye evil because I am good?

And toward

but the poor one had nothing except one little ewe lamb which he had bought and nourished up. And it grew up together with him and with his sons. It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him like a daughter.

Put no trust in a friend; put no hope in a guide; keep the door of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom.

His children

As a father pities his children, Jehovah pities those who fear Him.

Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget you.

Or what man is there of you, if his son asks a loaf, will he give him a stone?

For what father of you, if the son asks for bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake for a fish?
