For LORD thy God will bless thee as he promised thee, and thou shall lend to many nations, but thou shall not borrow, and thou shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee.

LORD will open to thee his good treasure the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand. And thou shall lend to many nations, and thou shall not borrow.

Then he said, Go, borrow for thee vessels abroad from all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

Give to him who asks thee, and turn thou not away from him who wants to borrow from thee.
