Thematic Bible: To the merciful


Thematic Bible




And if you give your bread to those in need of it, so that the troubled one may have his desire; then you will have light in the dark, and your night will be as the full light of the sun:






For this cause, O King, let my suggestion be pleasing to you, and let your sins be covered by righteousness and your evil-doing by mercy to the poor, so that the time of your well-being may be longer.

The man who has mercy will be rewarded, but the cruel man is the cause of trouble to himself.
